[FLHTCUSE7]

I am awaiting my CVO Limited in a few weeks and want to make sure I have all the items for it ready when it gets here, to finish her up and ride a few thousand miles prior to snow here.

One item I want to make as neat as possible is the power installation for my heated gear.

Has anyone installed the Gerbing permanent dual controller?

Any pictures?

Also, any issues with it from a reliability standpoint?

I've had mine on my 2011 Street Glide for a few years without any issues.  Very happy I did it.  I'll shoot a picture for you when I'm home later tonight.

[FLHTCUSE7]

That would be great. 

Thanks.

Have you considered one of the wireless controllers?

[05Train]

I'm sick of fiddling with the wired dual controller.  How are you guys mounting the wireless one?

[Ironhorse]

I plan on clipping mine on the pocket of my windshield pouch.

[FLHTCUSE7]

I tried the wired version but now I am using the wireless version and I really like it.

I just clip it to a Velcro strip on my left leg on the Aerostich roadcrafter suit for the HD.

When I get the BMW I plan on just clip it to the windshield.

I bough the belt pouch for the controller and it has a clip on it.

Interesting.  Maybe I'll try Velcroing the thing to the dash pad.

I have the wireless controller too. The nice thing is you can put it wherever you wish. You can carry it in a pocket, velcro it to your bike, tank bag, or windshield. Move it with you from bike to bike. IMHO it's the only way to go.

I put the dual controller in 6-7 years ago. Used 12 gauge wire from an added fuse in the box to the controller and back to pig tails I have coming out of the left side cover.

No issues at all. Although, now that wireless kits are available I would probably reconsider drilling the holes in the fairing. But it works for me.

My pig tails for the controller just come out of the hole in the frame under the seat, above the exhaust pipe. I use the 18-20" long jumpers to go from the pig tail to the gear once I get on the bike.
I also have 2 more pigtails that are not on a thermostat that I can tap into for either my wife or extra gear for me on the really cold days. For those I have the clip on dual controllers.

The dash thermostat usually gets the gloves and the jacket liner or socks/boot insole.

BTW, I just tried the boot insoles for the first time yesterday. wasn't too cold of a test, but, within 15 minutes I turned them down from high to about half. Another 5-10 minutes and I turned them off. They can get uncomfortably hot, so a t-stat is necessary.

Just installed mine on the heat shield  Gerbing said no problem with the heat they are made for it    work great. I had to order the plugs from garbing so they don't hang out the side of the tank. A very clean look and no damage to painted d parts.    Billy

The Powerlet device works with Gerbing?
