Haven't done it but the depth of the cigarette lighter exceeds the depth of the tank console, if that is the console you are referring to.
A good alternative may be to remove the air temp gauge and then install the "blank" that the Electra Glide Standards use in that hole--it's just a platic plug that you could put a hole in and install the cig lighter in it.

Let me know where you put it, Being way down low is a PIA, and I have launched two of them down the interstate at 70mph[:@] due to my fumbling around trying to get it back in without taking my eyes off the road.
I now actually carry a spare elementcause I know I will do it again sooner or later.

remove the bat wing outer fairing, determine where you have room to relocate it.
Buy a 7/8 in hole saw for your drill. I think the outer screw sleeve of the lighter
assembly is 15/16.
This will cut the best hole.
Gently ream with a file or dremel to size for the socket half.
always better to cut first hole small, just in case of an oops.
I placed mine in the righthand side frame cover along with the ignition switch,
when I customized the 01 EGC.

RE: cig lighter relocation on ultra
Ya we got the front cover off and were doing some measuring and looking as to possibly the best location and the place with the most room thick we have found a spot and will be checking measurements. Got to work all week so maybe a week or so but i will get pics and info when we do it.
Thanks for the tip choochoo, i got the hole saws and all the equipment just have to take it slow threw that stuff so you don't grab and crack anything.

That is the spot or dang close to it that we were thinking it may just fit in we were not sure if the bat wing would hit or be held out by it there.
With the cover off it looks like it would fit and you may have just answered that question.
