Gerbings Portable - Temp Controller Question
« on: January 26, 2009, 06:24:50 AM »

Where do you put it?  I can't hang it on a belt since it isn't accessible when I am riding - so I end up just stuffing it up under my jacket.

Got two bikes so I can't go the fixed route (well not going to).

Looking for suggestions - was considering a loop of nylon around my neck to hang it on?

A friend of mine has a RK and he has a tank pouch held on by the one screw on the tank . That's where he puts his controller.

Either where Ernie does or I clips it on the jacket pocket.

Mine looks like that except for it's a single controller.

Naitram I assume the one in the picture has a clip on the back.

It does have a clip on the back.  I just set mine ahead of time, depending on the temps. and then just put it in my jacket pocket and forget about it.

Guess I should have mentioned that - I have the pouch also.  Has a clip, that is what I am having the issue with finding a good place for.

Pretty much what I have been doing, just wondering if anyone had a neat idea...

The jacket I pull over the jacket liner has hand pockets on the front.  I clip the controller over the lip of the left pocket.  The knobs stick up for access that is as easy as it's going to be wearing gloves and I can adjust it at will going down the road as temps change.

Me too, I've tried other spots but the left leg just seems to work best for me.

I clip mine to the pocket of my winter riding pants (cloth FXRG overpants - much warmer than chaps!) .  But I have friends who ride with me in the winter and they sometimes clip it to a jacket pocket. You want it to be accessible so that you can change the temp hotter or cooler as conditions change throughout the ride.

cheers!

tonight riding home had an idea I am going to try when I get a chance...

Neo magnet mounted in cloth or plastic for the KLR (not really worried about the paint) with a mount for the clip.  Figure the magnet allows me to move it should I want to, clip the pouch to that and it's accessible while I am riding the Kawa.

Going to look at a center pouch for the SERK, something along those lines.

I gotta make this more complicated, too easy to just shove it in my pocket, and none of my riding gear is playing nice.
