Default Gerbing vs. Harley

I recently found out that Gerbing makes the Harley heated gloves. I guess the only real advantage with the Harley gloves that it connects to the socket provided behind the right side cover. Are there any advantages to buying the Gerbing glove over the Harley model?

Forget the gloves, I just had heated grips installed. WOW!! What a difference, it was worth the extra money to me to have the grips instead of the gloves. I have medium sized hands and I find that large bulky winter and heated gloves to be too much for my hands and I can't feel/grip the controls as well as I'd like to. So heated grips were the option so I could continue to use thin gloves and still have very warm hands

I have had Gerbing vest, chaps and gloves for about 8 years now. They do not get used that much but have always worked great when they are needed. I have ridden in 10 deg. weather with them and it feels nice and warm. Mine have the thermostat so they can be adjusted to how ever warm you need. I did have to switch the main power plug to match the plug on my Street Glide though. No big deal.

Ride Safe,

Mike

I bought my heated glovews at the local bmw dealer, they were cheaper. and they make an assortment of adapters so you can plug them into the battery tender lead.

Where exactly is the socket behind the right side cover? What does it look like? Maybe I've seen it and don't know what I'm looking for.
