New and used ones come up on eBay now and then. I have a few I might part with if you can't find one from other sources.

How would you go about installing one if there isn't already a hole in the dash for it? Would there be any drilling or cutting involved?

[Kelly 1,030]

yes you would have to drill a hole about 3/4" maybe 7/8" not sure with looking, and make sure the body of the socket is grounded, and run a hot wire to the socket, I'd fuse it.

A Greenlee chassis punch would make a perfect hole. Just be sure there's nothing or enough room behind the dash where you want to install the lighter. I had a set of punches, now only have a few common sizes; i.e.: 3/4".

I'm guessin' any lighter from the auto parts store would work. Fuse it.

I bought about 13 NOS WH cigar lighters a couple years ago on the ebay. I sold a few for over $50.00 each but I am keeping all I have left. One of my favorite cool factory made WH parts ever made in my opinion! I also love them 953/1054 red tail lights! I have a couple NOS one's of them but no plans on selling them either, just like to hoard rare stuff! KJ

HELLO, IF YOU ARE INSTALLING ON A B8O OR A MODEL CLOSE TH THAT. THE HOLE IS THERE IN THE METAL BACKING AND PLASTIC DASH HAS PATTERN IN IT FOR AKNOCK. MY 1975 B80 HAD THAT. I USE IT TO CHARGE MY BATTERY DURING WINTER STORAGE. IT MAKES IT SIMPLE.

Wow that's really helpful.

If you find a used lighter be aware that the knob unscrews from the element section so you can replace a rusty or broken element. I've bought a new element from a local auto parts store such as Autozone.

Probably gonna ruffle a few feathers here but this reminds me of a little kid on a playground taking all the toys and not letting anyone else play with them...I have plenty of rare stuff just as most here do but I don't go to a want ad and tell someone I have a bunch but none are for sale HarleyFX I have a complete ready to install one pictured below that I will ship to your door for FREE!!!! Send me a pm with your address and I will get it in the mail. I sell a lot of WH parts but I also give away parts to other members here on redsquare it just depends on the part and how many I have.

And a Merry Chistmas to all...!!

Well I figured since he had a few offers to sell him a lighter, I would brag about my cool WH items. If ya can't brag about your WH collection on a WH web site, then what the heck good is it! Feathers ruffled, thanks! LOL....

[Warning:Unsupervised 82]

My 76 B-100 had the hole in the metal back plate as well. When I took dash off to paint it I drilled the same size hole in the plastic dash plate for one and now have a lighter. I'll find a 76 oem lighter later and unscrew the knob off it like evanlook pointed out.  Although I quit smoking 13yrs back I think its just cool to have one on a horse {quit cold turkey with no helpers I may add= Will power}  ...

FYI: I also fused it, off the relay pos side were the factory lights switch was connected. I was'nt sure were they ran them?

 

Rydogg, Thank you very much for your great kindness too members. Guys like you are few and nun.

I also have a 953 tail light that I won't sell, because it is on one of my 953s!

Curious,

Any particular model number for the lighter, for instance I have a 68 Commando 8???  I've noticed I have the 'lighter' hole and no lighter.

Thanks

All this for a lighter. Personally I still carry a Zippo everywhere I go and a pack of Pall Malls. Everything I have is for sale. I have always been willing to help other owners if I have extras. That's what being a member here is about you know.

Rydogg offered to "give" a Red Square member a part not "sell" it to him.

 There is a big difference and very few guys that do that.
