Have the heated vest and temperature control unit made by Gerbing's. They also make the same heated units for the MOCO. Am very happy with it. It's all I need to ride comfortably during the winter months here in northern California. Should also mention though, I have the HD heated hand grips.

Used mine this past Saturday. Took a ride over to the coast to check out some ocean front property. Had it cranked up pretty darn near 100%. Can't beat the stuff to extend the riding season--as long as the roads are free of salt however.

I have been using Gerbing's jacket liner and gloves for years and swear by them. http://www.gerbing.com/

I just a Gerbing jacket liner for Me and my wife today . I came home and installed the wires this afternoon and we went for a ride. Its about 38 deg outside and I just pulled into the house ,with just the heated liner under my leather coat I could not believe the difference it made in me staying warm. My hands were even warmer. I guess the blood flows better to the fingers with the heated sleaves. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Well took the big plunge yesterday at the international bike show in Seattle and ordered the ultimate riding jacket and pants from gerbing (they had a booth and are located in seattle) man does this look like a great setup for winter riding.  In the ultimate line all orders are custom made and should be ready in 3-4weeks.  Pants jacket and gloves draw 12amps.

Magoo, how was the show.  I was hoping to get down but wife's plans did sync with the idea.

Very nice rode up with the wife and a buddy,  they had the guy with the northwest motorcycle museum there with some great old bikes.  All makes where there lots of manufacturers reps,  and not overly crowded.
