In the process of putting a cig lighter on my bike - wanting to see where you guys are mounting them! E Model . Thanks! Ill post pics of my setup in a lil.
Sorry, no pics. I have two on my bike -- both are on quick disconnect pigtails. One is up front by the horn. The pigtail then goes through a small hole in my tank bag and the lighter outlet is inside the bag. That's where I keep my MP3 player when traveling.
The second disconnect stays under the seat when not in use, but when I need it I connect the pigtail and hang it out the bottom of the seat where it goes into my saddlebag for charging my phone or GPS while traveling.
Also, I used Kerry's circuit with one major change. My outlets are powered through a relay and are only hot when the key is on. This way, if I forget to disconnect something, I don't run down the battery. The relay is under the seat just behind and left of the battery. It is ziptied to a frame rail.
Kerry has a nice write up/ how-to on his page about this subject.

All leads soldered/shrinkwrapped and power lead in-line fused. Well see how it works out when the bikes up next week!
And the whole reason for this :icon_lol:
Obviously not with the cord the way it is, or the V1 sitting on the master cylinder LOL, but at least it works! :cheers:

Here ya go dude! :thumb: :cheers: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=41254.0
i routed the pig tail for my battery tender to come out on the Shifter side of the bike, next to the tie bars. when not in use just tuck it inside the fairing and your all set- might work well for you too :thumb:
Very clean! That looks real good. Thanks for the pictures.
