On my 2014 CVO Road King I just added HD part:

69200722 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION KIT,TOURING

It plugs into the accessory port under the side panel and includes the pigtail that my HD seated seat needed.

I had a heater installed in my seat and wired it in to the bike using the dash switches and made a nice wire harness. I am in the process of doing the same for my '17.  Local upholstery guy is installing the Check Corporation  2 SERIES- HI/LO SINGLE SEAT and again operating it via the dash switches

Not recommended for everyone, but if you want to save the money over what a heated seat costs or what installers charge to convert a regular seat to heated, this has worked for me.  Have done several, from about 3 years ago.  All working fine. 

Used this kit from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/WATERCARBON-Premium-Heated-Seat-Kit/dp/B00AKFFR6C/ref=sr_1_37?ie=UTF8&qid=1477597410&sr=8-37&keywords=heated+seat

Seat cover off, install heater pad over foam cushion but under plastic liner. 2 elements - 1 for rider, 1 for passenger.  If plastic tears a dry cleaner plastic bag can be trimmed to fit over foam on seat.  Heater elements must be installed under plastic. 

Cut hole in side of outer seat material for switch. Added seat material to switch itself so that it could be glued to the inside of hole, leaving room for switch to show.  Do not cut out fuse from wiring harness, fuse MUST be used!  Wire straight to battery or use Deutsch plug, and follow directions for wire connections.  Check to make sure all works ok.

Reinstall outer seat cover.  A staple gun works great, be sure to stretch tight, should re-align as it was originally.  Seat will heat up in 2-5 minutes.  3 position switch - Low, Off, High. Kit was designed for car use but works fine for MC seats as long as plastic is used over heater elements.  Start to finish takes about 2 hours or so.  Can use Deutsch plug (unused on many bikes) near bike battery if you wish to run off ACC switch, but will need the mate to the Deutsch plug and wire in to that mate plug instead of straight to battery.
