I clip mine to the right front pocket of my jeans. Makes it very easy to use 'cause it's under the jacket.

My dual Gerbing thermostat has a clip on it. I keep it clipped to my right jacket pocket. Even with my thick gloves I have learned to reach down and adjust the glove or jacket dial. (you need to have the cruise engaged to do this!) I start with them full on then adjust them down as they heat up.

I got a Captain Itch gadget mount. It velcros to the dash and is easily accessible when riding! REALLY NICE!

We also offer a smaller version that has 2 very powerful magnets that work very well. http://shop.captain-itch.com/Magneti...Tank-Panel.htm

How the heck do you all see the little red and or green light????? Or is that important? I've turned mine on and feel the warmth, then start the bike and things get cold. Look at the top and have a red light on. Turn it down to green and then back up an everything is fine. But what good are the lights if you can't see them?

Yes my belly gets in the way!

It looks goofy but I got a piece of cord from my helmet bag and made a loop that I hang around my neck/outside of coat and let it hang mid chest. I have easy access and can see the little lights if I want to

It may just be me and I am not by any means being critical here. I just don't think it is a good idea to turn the heat on before the bike is up and running. Or turn the bike off and have the heat on. The heat can pull that battery down pretty fast if your not careful. This is what my service people tell me and I am just passing it on.

I clip it to the belt on my jacket, or to the top of my chaps pant leg if I'm wearing chaps.
