Hey all, looking for a bit of clarity. I am interested in buying a heated hammock seat for my 2011 road king, part number 52000565. The HD website says it fits 14-25 touring, but when I plug in my year it says it fits. I know the seat itself will bolt in with no problems but is there an issue with the wiring for the heat element? I tried searching the forum and went through 10 pages of posts without much help. Thanks in advance!
The installation instructions show the seat connecting to the accessory circuit connector under the seat. If you have this connector, Im guessing you should be good to go.
I have a '13 King and I have the 4-pin connector as mentioned and below pic. The seat fitment should be fine, but double check if the connection for the seat is 6-pin or 4-pin. Someone can confirm, but I think the 2014+ bikes are 6-pin, but I could be wrong.

looks like I should be good to go. This is the connector for the seat.
If you still want to have use of that ACC port for other things, then you can get a splitter like this one. I use mine for a dedicated GPS and also when the detachable batwing goes on it also powers the 12v port.

FWIW...
I know that the data port/ diagnostic connector changed from the J1850 4-pin connector to the CanBus 6-pin connector when the '14+ touring bikes went to the CanBus system, but I think the accessory plugs and B+ connectors stayed the same...
