tlking6 0 Posted January 19, 2013 Does anyone know a local store carrying 12v cigaret lighter plugs thingies for the bike? Preferably the marine kind (waterproof) I bought mine at Pep Boys. Marine socket with a spring loaded cover that seals real nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dstss 27 Posted January 19, 2013 Most large Auto parts stores should have one. I just got mine from AutoZone. You might want to get an inline fuse holder also if it doesn't come with one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CalNub 0 Posted January 19, 2013 I got mine from cycle gear, $10, thick wiring, rubber cover, but no fuse. I'll have to splice one in today or tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kato 53 Posted January 19, 2013 Ok cool, thanks! Cycle gear is a bit far but i did check @ pepboys when i picked up a bulb yesterday, but obviously not good enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Covered in Dust 163 Posted January 19, 2013 +1 on Cycle Gear, but you have to get it when it's on sale at $9.95 otherwise it's 20 bucks.. CiD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desertrunner 0 Posted January 19, 2013 I just picked this up a few weeks ago: http://www.powersportsuperstore.com/BikeMaster-12V-15A-Standard-Cigarette-Lighter-Sock-p/4452690.htm Great quality for the price. The rubber seal is very good, although it can be difficult to pull off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsr 0 Posted January 20, 2013 I wired a battery tender pigtail to the battery (it has an in-line fuse), then went to O'Reily Auto Parts and bought a 12V socket that is designed to plug into a trailer wiring pigtail. The picture shows a USB adapter plugged into the socket. Rated 7 amps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danrider 5 Posted January 20, 2013 That is the best idea i have read on this tread, good idea, because I leave my adapter under the seat so when the bike is siting I can just pug it in. Now I can use the adapter for a quick plug in for a 12v socket, This is a winner!!!

kato 53 Posted January 20, 2013 got the 12v socket from cycle gear installed today, thanks everyone for the advices. my bike had a spare/unused wire by the headlight (that are for an extra light for the european models) so didn't even need any fuse, easy job. and that usb adapter is definitely sexy tsr! just found a similar thing on ebay and got two of them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-2-Port-USB-Mini-Bullet-Car-Power-Charger-Adapter-12V-f-iPad2-3-iPhone4-iPod-/321046338551 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
