Default RE: Lighter ?

Look around your shift linkage for the lighter. They tend to end up in that direction when they pop out. A new HD one will run you about $13.00.

Get those pipes hot and you should be fine without the cigarette lighter.

Any lighter that will fit the socket will work.
Go to an auto parts store and save some money!

I am willing to bet that someone else liked it just a bit more than you. In other words it got lifted. The shuttle but around these parts is that the lighters are getting stolen left and right. I know of a few guys, that when they park their bikes, they pull the lighter out and put in in their pocket until they are ready to leave.

Replace it with power outlet plug, like that used in cars and trucks.
This would keep the water out also.

Rabid, where ever you get your replacement, make the friction fit a little tighter by bending out the retainers with a small screwdriver or the like.

I actually bought one from Checker auto parts a GM I believe. It did not work. It was cheap though.
