You can buy the cable that plugs into the acc harness.then you can wire your heat gear into that.

Buy the 'Supplemental Power Point' from Harley, $20 and take the cigarette lighter end off and wire your gear connector (fused of course) to the pigtails

You are going to want to use the acc. switch to activate a relay, the acc. switch won't stand the current the heated gear requires.

The acc plug has a7.5 fuse on it. Same as the line that came with the jacket. Dealer told me they wired the acc switch with a line for heated gear. It just had the sae ends on it. So I think I'll just get the sae to coax adapter.

I think that should work out fine. The jacket has its own power switch and thermosrat

Why not just run your jacket directly off the battery by using the fused battery harness? These harness's can be purchased for less than $10.

The manual that comes with Gerbing/HD heated gear says to use 10 amp fuse with both liner and gloves. 7.5 would do with only one or the other, I think.

Get a thicker jacket and no acc switch is necessary, or learn some simple wirinf techniques and wire away. Oh a third option is to take it to the stealer and pay to have it done

The accessory switch on the bike powers a Deutsch connector in front of the battery. The plug you have in the picture would plug directly in to that, the accessory plug is not a battery tender type.
