Default Heated seat hookup

I just got my seat back from mean city cycles. I had individual heat put in and for the life of me I can't figure out how to hook it up. The instructions are not helpful. I was told that I can hook it up to the acc. switch for power and then use the 2 separate switches it came with to turn them on or off individually. Any help is appreciated.

I'm sending mine in this week. What are your impressions of the seat mods? I'm planning on getting the heated seat option and just having the switch put on the seat like in their pics. Since it is fused I'll just run it straight to the battery.

The seat feels great they told me I'd be better putting the switches on the handle bars this way the wife can be heated and I don't have to use mine. The wiring is what has me confused.

yeah I typically ride by myself so I'm only going to modify the front part. If you want the heat to be switched individually then you would need two switches. It doesn't matter where you put the switches(bars under seat or what) but that is the way it will need to be wired. I saw on their website that they can put the switch in the side of the seat and that is what I am planning on doing. If you want her to be able to turn on off her own heat then maybe you should ask if you can send it back and have them make that mod for you. Just a thought.

They did send me 2 switches so that is where the confusion starts and Allen is the one who told me to mount them to the handle bars so the wife's legs don't hit them. The directions don't cover wireing up of 2 switches or how to mount them to the bars. I put in a call to him on Thursday hopefully he'll give me a call back Monday.
