Anyone install a cigarette lighter to charge a phone etc on your F4i? I'm thinking the trunk would be a good place to stash it like this guy with his 954. I may even have mine "stick out" into an empty portion of the tail so it doesn't eat up any room in our already tiny trunk.

there are threads on doing a USB port for charging things. its smaller and way cleaner.

here's one:

Wow why didn't I think of that :lol: Glad I didn't start my project yet, though I already bought the cigarette lighter and it will probably cost more to ship it back. Great thought though, the USB connector can charge my smart phone/iPod without having to fiddle with the bulky cig lighter...

 

i updated my post with a link...

 

I installed a waterproof cigarette lighter I bought for $8 on my F4i and it works beautifully, I have a AC adapter with it is well so I can plug anything into it.
I just ran it into the trunk and tied it onto the subframe in there.

I can use any cigarette lighter plugs, AC plugs and USB.

 

I installed this dual USB in the plastic dash near the Tach. It is awesome!!!
$40, but well worth it! Can be installed on handle bar, or in the plastic as I did. Just make sure you have room behind the plastic before you cut!

I really like that solution. Can you post a picture of where you installed yours?

 

now i can haz smoke when i ride!!!! Yay!!!! lmao

 

My buddy put the cig lighter up under the windscreen so he can plug his gps in for his tank bag for long rides. He has extra slack in it and when not using it he glued a Velcro strap there to hold it.

 

My bike was layed down on Sunday, but these pics give you an idea where I installed the port, and what it looks like. Just make sure you measure to make sure you have enough space, where you cut the hole. Time for me to fairing shop now! It is the best port I have used, or seen on any bike.
