Heated gloves are even better. Keeps the whole hand warm, not just the palm. The pants liner is on my wish list now Rode today w/ a friend (right around 30)and the liner and gloves kept me toasty but my *** got cold. I am NOT putting my Road King away this winter. Screw it.

Jacket liner sounds great. What powers these things?

Harness hooks to the batteryand you route itout the left side. The have battery operated units also but most all big Twins will handle the current draw as long as you keep the idle up a bit. I have both the FL and my lowrider hooked up for the gear.

I have the Gerbings heated socks and they are awesome (liked them better than the soles)!

Don't worry...that won't happen. The electrical system can handle the additional load just fine.

I just bought the heated gear from head to toe (gloves, jacket liner, outer pants, socks)...unfortunately a few days after getting 'em I blew out my knee (surgery two years ago for torn meniscus, feels like same thing again) so I've been in bed for a week waiting for approval for an MRI....They do look good sitting in a box in my house though!! If I have surgery again I probably won't need 'em till next year lol....oh well
