Left hand infill panel where the Triumph accessory outlet went is what I did and put in one from a boat for water proffing.

Kuryakin have a bullet shaped one that mounts on the bars...

Yeah, I just used a PepBoys socket kit in the left plastic panel where the blank hole already was. I found a neat skull lighter to plug into it and use it all the time.

thanks guys. i may go that route with the left side mounted lighter. i'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous and if so, i could light a smoke on a windy day going 70, but such ain't the case. i gotta pull off the road, stop, get out a smoke, my lighter from the pocket. hell, at that rate i might as well quit smoking. i don't see that one happening. thanks again for the replies, and likely the place to mount the lighter.

While at Maggie valley, I think it was "scot in exile" I noticed had one mounted on top of the radiator chrome piece on the right side...Might be more convienient place instead of reaching behind you.

Yep, got one of those, put it right next to the tach. One thing to consider, and the reason I went with this one instead of the side mount, it's real convenient to charge the phone, I plug it in and set it in the windshield bag (also convenient for a bar mount GPS if you've got one).

I mounted mine on the windsheld, just loosen one of the windshield nuts and fasten it on the left hand side, very handy and within reach,
