Default 71 72 Electroglide

I am doing a little research, and could use some help. I noticed the some of the 71 Electroglides had cigarette lighters. Does anyone know if they were standard on the 72 Electroglides? Thanks

Thanks, I have seen a 71 with the lighter, and a 72 without. I wasn't if they stopped it for the 72.

I think it was long before that, my dad's 90, my 91, and grandpa's 93 all had them. Dad's 82 didn't though
