Default Compressor from heated gear harness?

Is it possible to run a small compressor off the heated gear plug? Perhaps someone makes a conversion plug to a cigarette lighter type plug that could be carried in a saddlebag along with a compressor.

I mounted a Kuryakyn cigarette/accessory socket (with lighter) to my handlebars, wired with fuse to the battery. Heavy duty chrome and looks great, and now I can plug in and use any 12v accessory with that type of plug, including a compressor, without having to diddle with any wires every time I want to use it.

Cyclepump. See them in the ads in the back of motorcycle mags. I have one, it plugs into the battery tender lead. Haven't used it on road yet, but I did drill a hole in an old tire, plug it and inflate it for practice. Worked as expected.

I have a slime compressor that I run off of my battery tender plug.
