With a plug in the cig lighter, will the plug hit your tank of you turn your bars full left? Just wondering because I use to have a cig plug for a radar detector that would do that. Had to search for a cig plug that didn't stick out so much. Don't use the cig plug anymore as everything is internally wired.
