Title: A Map Light Installation
Last Updated:  
Published Date: August 21, 2007

Problem:
I needed a way to read my map at night along with having a general light when I am riding at night. Since I do a lot of night riding as part of long distance riding, not having a light the last few rides has proven a mistake. Holding a small flash light with my teeth does not work well. 

My Solution:
Repeating my LT modification, I again utilized a standard 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter as my solution. This not only provides me with a place to plug in my 12 volt goose neck light, but provides a 12 volt receptacle e for other items like charging my cell phone or air compressor. Using a Gusset accessory arm for my BMR shelf, I mounted the cigarette lighter adapter to the accessory arm and plugged into my available 12v power source that is located between my front forks.
