I have a 06 RKC. I ran the wire out from under the seat and used a black zip tie to secure the plug to the chrome saddle bag support. Before, I just had the plug hang out from under the seat. I was always struggling to hold both ends of the connector to plug the connector in. I now only need one hand to push the heated vests connector in. I did not like the option of plugging the vest somewhere near the handle bar. The controller and or wires could drag and keep bumping against the paint on the gas tank.
