cigarette lighter
My brother gave me a cradle for gps or phone. He told me you couldn't plug into the cig lighter. What would be the reason for this. Is the lighter different than a car. Would like to plug phone in to keep it charged on long trips.
Thanks

Works fine, just make sure it doesn't hit your tank on tight left turns.....Been running my GPS like that for about 3 years.......

Use one of these, and you won't have any issues of it hitting the tank.
I use this to power my Garmin GPS, and can use it to charge the iPhone or iPod too.

This adapter mounts flush with the fairing surface.

I plug my phone and radar detector into that socket all the time. The owners manual also say to NOT use it for that as it may damage it and the cigarette lighter may not heat up properly. I don't smoke so I don't care and HD is full of sh*t on that one.
