In a perfect world you wouldn't need no stinkin' heated gear...

I wish! I should have ordered the liner a week ago. Going to be 19 deg tomorrow. And everyone thinks Cali is tosty and warm in the winter.

The leads are long enough to just stick in your pocket. I also bought the gerging Union Ridge pants, with velcro on the pocket. I put a piece of velcro on the back of the controller, and stick it on the velcro on the pant pocket, on my left thigh. If I don't wear the pants, I just set it and stick it in my jacket pocket.

Let me be the first to tell you that Minnesota ain't perfect !

But heated gear extends our riding season by at least a month on both sides of winter !

My chaps have a small small external pocket on the left waist. The controller fits in there just right. Before these chaps I just used a velcro strap around my thigh and a piece of velcro on the back of the controller.

I thought that I was on to something when I designed a heat controller mount that straps to my thigh, but, while the concept I think was a good one, my design/execution of the concept left a lot to desire. My main issue with my design is that it slips and turns on my leg to easily. I wanted to be able to dress up with controller and be all plugged up INSIDE THE HOUSE in comfort and just go out to the bike and plug the power cord in. Perhaps a holster type hanging mount that snaps around a belt with a hanging lace that straps around the thigh once seated would work better? Still trying to think it thru first.

In the meen time I have mounted the original controller mount that I recieved. I don't have a screw in my panel to secure it with but instead have slid it down between my tank and seat and secured the top with a piece of velcro. It is secure and EZ enough to use and it puts the controller right at my fingertips. I also installed a panel mounted port kit onto my crotch cooler. (permanent, secure, EZ to plug into)
