I can see the power outlet in both locations, but what cable do I need to use these? Obviously too small for a cigarette adapter.

Thanks Fred, Next question... why didn't Victory just put in a cig port to begin with?

Maybe they were thinking about saving space or because so many owners want what other bikes have they used the BMW style plugs?
I think all the '11 models have the standard style. They learn.

I have the regular (cig) outlets on my '10 and wish they were the powerlet style. This style is much more common on M/C than the gig type plugs.

Most of the heated riding gear on the market today comes with the small Powerlet style plugs standard, and just plugs in, unless you opt for the hard-wired version. I used the stock outlets on our Vision, with portable controllers for our heated gear, until I got around to hard-wiring in permanently mounted controllers. The Powerlet (BMW) style plugs are much more secure than the cigarette style. I consider the change to the cigarette style on the new Vision to be a move backwards. In any case, adapters are readily available (to go either direction) from Powerlet, Cycle Gadgets, Honda, BMW, and many other sources.
