I can tell ya, things add up fast. I placed an order to convert two bikes to the BMW style plugs and spent $114 real quick..  :confused5:

Sporty.......very close to you, I converted both bikes to BMW style plugs (did mine several years ago).  Bought everything I need right there at A&S BMW in Roseville.  They actually have a pretty good selection of both Gerbing and of course the BMW stuff.    http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=4561.msg63192#msg63192

Thanks for the lead on A&S, I'm sure I'm going to need something before I'm done with this. I was thinking of converting the cig lighter to a BMW style plug but wondering if there is enough turning clearance when using the plug. Have you tried this? Thanks for posting what you did, that would be my next option.

Gerbings heat controller - do your lights "light up"?

Mine don't - and I honestly don't notice much from one end of the spectrum to the other when I try to dial the temp up or down on the jacket or the gloves...anyone else had issues with them?

Sean, mine work fine.  Every now and then I get a big heat wave, but I guess it's related to the regulator that charges the battery.

are you sure its on at all?

first time i hooked one up i reused a battery tender connection already on the bike. but didnt account for the extra current draw. poped the fuse as soon as i turned the dial

I get heat - but is there a separate fuse for the controller (like in it?)

do notice a huge difference in heat output from my KLR to the SERK - gets much hotter off the SERK.

yeah, just had a friend who just got a jacket, gloves and controller (thanks Hunter - he used the 20% sale also) who I am going to help install his power/pigtail (doesn't even own a drill...), and was going to see what his did before I called Gerbings.

I am betting I have a FUBAR'd controller - seems to be wide open all the time.

Hey Sean,

You should just give the folks a call at Gerbings.  They have great customer service and support.  They'll probably have a replacement controller in your hands before you get a chance to check out your buddy's controller.

HeHe!!! Don't miss much though spyd! ;)

Maybe Craig got good CS there. If you buy directly from Gerbing, they treat you differently than if you buy from a dealer, which I did. Sorry Craig, all I know is I was in hell with their CS regarding brand new stuff. I'm still waiting for them to get the relacement right. I hope I don't have problems with the gear after I get it back. Hate to see what I'll go thru then! :nixweiss:

Gerbing CS is a model for most! I needed a new pigtail adapter and called them...it arrived 4 days later and no charge!

so I called them (Gerbings) and got Tina, she quickly informed me I had reversed the polarity on my connector (adapted it from the SAE/Battery Tender)...

Sure enough, lack of attention to detail (was in a bonehead rush).  Re-did the coax to SAE adapter and whammo, my lights work.  Will be testing it out here next week - going to be cold.
