RE: Heated Stuff

For the horses and sparing the expense of heating clothing, before I had mine I took an old fleece jacket and sewed pockets all over the inside to fill with the heat paks. Nice and warm! You can order the things on the internet by the case pretty damn cheap. . .

With all that gear I can't help but wonder if you're going to kill the battery!!!!

On my 03 FXST I can run heated jacket and pant liner/heated gloves/passing lights. I also have a HID Headlight and HID auxillary lights and have no problem charging the battery. I can toggle each set of lights separately and have dual controls for the jacket-gloves and pants. With HID headlight I am using less than 3.5 amps when lit.

RE: Heated Stuff

IMO, heated gear is the best riding accessory money that you can spend if you live in a climate that gets below 50*. Even at 50, it's nice to slip on the jacket liner under a light jacket and ride all day without even getting a chill. That hot jacket liner sure feels good on your back when you lean back on a backrest.

I use it for more than just my bike. I put a harness in my Jeep for when the top is off and also can use it on cool fall days on the boat when I want to still get out on the water.

RE: Heated Stuff

When riding horses with heated gear, the plug is under the tail in the back! Might not heat up the vest, but it'll get your blood flowing when you get kicked in the face trying to "plugin"!

Ironhorse, I'm sure that I will forget to unplug at least a few times

I have spent some time in your neck of the woods too, I moved to MN in 94 from Middleburg. Hub was born and raised in NOVA, mostly around Falls Church. We moved back here cause keeping horses here is alot cheaper than there! Now I need to figure out a way to plug in that heated gear when I'm riding a horse!
You would plug into thesolar panel on the back of the saddle?!

Given that most rides are prolly gonna be over in a few hours, those things would come in damn handy, to keep the toes warm !!
