I'm a big fan of Gerbing gloves. However, since I installed the Klock Werks Billboard Flare windshield, I think I've had my Gerbings on once this year. The Billboard Flare will keep most of the cool breeze off your fingers. Do a search, there are several reviews on this forum.
If you're interested in non electric - heated gloves, I'd recommend Duluth Trading Co. DT Pro winter gloves. Snug fitting without bulk, insulated, waterproof, windproof, breathable and hve textured palm for grip.

Hippo hands........not!
NO HIPPO HANDS! Iagree. I would not put something like that on my beloved BLACK BEAUTY. Don't mean to insult folks, but just not my taste. Mine not as big and just cover wrist. Had no idea what 1st Hippo meant.

I was one of those no way I am going to get wired to the bike and have that ugly harness showing guys. I thought electric gear was for ******. Then a guy in my office got a Gerbling vest and told me it added hours to his early/late season riding. Then I started noticing the serious riders (read riders not posers) with the Gerbling gear. I bit and bought a jacket liner and boy am I sold. I went for a three hour ride at 40 degrees Sunday and it felt like summer. I did not need a long underwear top, just a long sleeve tee shirt so less bulk. The liner replaced a HD liner that wasn't worth a darn as far as warmth. The only thing that got cold were my fingers. Guess what, a pair of gloves is on the way. They plug directly into the jacket liner so there is no more wiring than the one feed into the jacket.
Re: the harness, it took about 15 minutes to install it on my 2011 RKC. I was able to run the connection under the seat and when it is not in use, it tucks behind the frame and you can not see it.
So, if you want to freeze your **** off with substandard gear, have at it. I will be the warm and toasty one with a big smile on my face piling up the miles in March.
Just in case you think I am a Poser RUB, I have been riding for 43 years. This 57 year old body appreciates a little warmth. I just wish they made an electric jock strap!!

Yeah, what this guy said...except the jock strap. *LOL* I started with gloves. I want the jacket to get rid of wires and eliminate layering. Real bikers know Gerbings. The rest winterize and put their bikes in storage.

Except that Gerbings has not had dual controllers in stock all winter. I bought the warm&safe controller.......is Gerbing on their way out of business? All winter seems a little troublesome for a "HEAT" controller.......I run my insoles and gloves, but I'm considering warm and safe now for the Pants/Jacket, just can't get over the out of stock problem?????

I too was a tough guy and told the wife I would buy her a set but I would Not get one for me. This lasted until a few years back we were riding over I80 going to Reno - at the summit I need to stop and warm up - I was freezing - ask the wife how she was doing on the back - she said "I just turned my liner down because its getting a little warm" As she stepped off the bike - she opened her jacket and had me wrap my arms around her - WOW - that was warm and toasty - I was sold.. I still don't use them as much as she uses hers but they work. April 09 we did a coast to coast - while going over the summit just east of Albuquerque, New Mexico - it snowed for about 90 min and got down to 30 degrees - snow never stuck to the ground so we kept riding - we were both as warm as two bugs in a rug - Our cold weather gear is always with us durning fall and spring rides ---

If I dont want the heated gloves I unplug from the switch and tuck the switch and end of the cable under the tank.
I love the gloves and I have found nothing that works as well. Heated grips only keep the inside of my hand warm. Even with thick gloves my fingers will burn from being too cold. The gloves fixed my frozen fingers for good.
