I have replaced the heating elements alot in auto's over the last years.
Id bet a little ingenuity from them could have one made.

Long story short I bought an old vehicle and am personalizing. I have looked at the Dorman heated seats aftermarket kits. The look simple enough, put an inline fuse on an unused circuit, run the outer to the switch they provide and put the switch on the dashboard, fish wire to seat pad and recover the seat.
I wonder what Corbin's issue is. Maybe they don't think the amperage of the stator is sufficient. Who knows?
Those Dorman kits come with two pads, one for seat and one for seat back. Like $70.

Just a thought, Omaha.

Anyone have any experience with Paughco mufflers? I didn't know they made them until I started looking around for fishtails.

Not myself but a local indy sells a good bit of their stuff.
Well I do have the lower wind deflectors on the forks, they have held up well.

Does it give an amp draw spec on it?
GM's can pull a good amount

If your referring to an '05 fairing, the '90 is totally different

The '90 charging system and wiring wouldn't like any kind of heaters(pretty much a direct short), it's already marginal.

Heat Demon sells their Internal Seat Heater for ~$60 ...that may be a good alternative if you want to go down the toasted butt road

My sense is that in the world of HD aftermarket stuff, they are better than average.

My concern on the mufflers is I don't want anything crazy loud. I just want the fishtails because they look cool to me. I wish I could find someone who is running them to give me an idea.

Fishtails like this with baffles are not bad.



Straight fishtails are freaking obnoxious.

Looking at the one with baffles for sure. I'm with you on the straight pipes. No way I'd run those.
