Default Heated Gear Controlers

hey guys, i have a heated gear controler that i need to mount on the bike. I was wondering if anyone here rides with heated gear and where they mounted the controler. I have one on my Yamaha that i mounted through the inner fairing but i don't really want to follow that route with my Ultra Classic one so I'm canvasing the forum to see if anyone uses them and where they mount the control. I didn't have the forsight to get a belt clip. it has an adhesive and velcro mount that can be put about anywhere.

Mornings here when i go to work at 0400 are still pretty brisk, in the low to mid 40's. While it gets warmer during the day its still pretty chilly during the early morning hours when the sun is not up so forgive me for being a wuss, but my old bones don't like it when its below 50 and dark. Fifty with the sun out is another story.

Appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

cass

I put mine on a piece of flat stock bent on a 45' angle mounted to the saddlebag mount

I mounted my gerbing remote controller with the **** through the 4 switch housing just ahead of the fuel tank. The rest is under the seat behind the tank. I originally had the plug just coming out between the seat and frame, but after plug end failure - I replaced the ends with powerpole connecters and have it hard mounted in the plastic air deflector at the rear of the motor on my FLHTK. The **** is kinda out of site, but reachable, and I only had to drill into the switch housing - not the inner fairing.

You can get a controller that has the ***** and wires without the plastic case so the ***** can be panel mounted. I don't know if I explained that very well...Anyway, there are some ideas and pictures in this thread below. Maybe it will help.

post #7 has a photo of the thing I am referring to. If you read all of the posts in that thread there are additional pics

When it is cold enough to have the heated gear on I also have my chaps on. I just tuck the controller inside the top edge of my chaps.
