Can anyone provide me any good pointers to the best way to install a 12V cigarette plug so i can run my GPS on my 2009 Blast? I've installed a 12V plug on to my Big Ruckus but wonder what most folks do here for 12 accessory power? thanks in advance, Ira |

Is it possible they have an adapter for an SAE plug the kind a Battery Tender uses? Seems a sturdier plug than the cigarette lighter. Usually a fused connection directly to the battery is best. Anyway thats what I've done and secured the plug with a strap and well nut that already exists in the frame down by the tank panel tail. |

Nice! Add a fused Battery Tender hook up (which also works for electric vests) to the battery and your good to go. |

Ok..ordered up a powerlet cable with the cig. plug....done one of those before on the Big Ruckus so no rocket science. Thanks, Ira |
