Thanks Dawg! Good Idea!

It's a $1 part, but there's a minimum 100 part order ;-)

Cool. Thanks.

So I decided to buy 91844-97 which was the $1 socket cover that comes in the HD 12v supplemental power outlet kit. I installed in on my cigarette lighter and don't have to worry about putting the element somewhere. Now I can just pop up the cover and plug in whatever it is I'm plugging in. I wish the folding tab on the cover was a little shorter as it is crunched up while closed, but it's doable. You would think the MOCO would put these $1 jobs on all the tourers and make the 5% of the people that actually probably use the lighter element purchase it as a $15 accessory!

Obviously the part exists because you bought one...for only one dollar I might add, but the part number you provided (91844-97)doesn't pull up on the HD website. Must be a parts counter only item.
