Default Heated Gloves Wiring

For those that have installed a wiring harness for heated gloves on an Ultra Classic, could you tell me where you fed the wiring from the battery?

I have a pair of heated gloves and wiring from another bike but undecided as to where I want to route the battery harness.

Your suggestions will be appreciated!!!

i've seen wires run several ways. one followed the top of saddle bag guard plastic tied in place , or feed wire through top of seat where rider backrest mounts when not in use he tucks it inside, or run wire left side of frame and plastic tie in place

I ran mine down the right side under the seat, comes up at the grab rail and I tuck it between the grab rail and the seat. Works great for the gloves and the battery tender.

I use the wiring for the battery tender. I changed the plugs to 1/4" audio plugs and hard mounted the female plug to the adjustable backrest lever bracket. I use a 90 degree male plug for my heated clothing and it is an easy one handed plug in or unplug.

I ran mine in front of the seat.

On my UC I have it coming up through the seat at the driver's backrest. On my work bike I have it coming out at the front of the seat next to the tank, which is the easiest set up, but not as easily hidden.
