Default mounted lighter?

I have a 2001 Heritage. Has anyone ever mounted a 12 volt lighter? I am wanting a genuine Harley lighter but cant seem to find one. I have all but went up to the dealer and asked.
&nbsp\\;
Anybody have a link?

+1 on the Powerlet thing. I mounted one between the risers on my handlebar so it's nice and easy to just put a GPS on there.

under cheap mods they suggest a basic autozone lighter can be hooked up to the tail from the battery charger that seems to be on most bikes.
&nbsp\\;
you can leave it hooked up and in a saddlebag or just plug when you need it.

I just mounted a lighter on the top of my coil cover on my 06 heritage I use it to light up when riding and charge cell phone when taking long trips and no electrical outlet is available. Just make an L shaped braket drill a hole big enough for the lighter to be mounted in ,I only use on bolt to hold mine on and it seems to hold without any problems.

I got mine from JC Whitney, has a rubber water "seal" between the **** and the element.&nbsp\\; Mounted mine on the console just in front of the odometer reset button.&nbsp\\; It was tight but works great.
