43 deg this morning, I had to rely on Under Armour and full leathers............Can't wait till my Gerbings get here. 2 more weeks.

Does any of the electric stuff have a heat control, or is it on, or off. I don't have the body armor, but the same type of thing made for skiing, since I don't use a wind shield a neck gator is the best!

Gerbing (and probably H-D) offers thermostats that can control heat. Gerbing offers a single or dual thermostat so you can zone where/how much heat you want.

Man, just like heated seats in the car! Temps can change quickly here depending on how much sun you get, the controls would be nice.  Where the best sites as far as price??

Gerbing and HD.  Same part with different label.  Don't know if it's still the case but used to be that you bought the clothes from Gerbing for longer warranty and price but bought the controller from HD as it was cheaper there.

Haven't gotten that far in my research yet. Still not sure if the cost/use will be beneficial to me yet.

That's what I was wondering, I have ridden for years with what I have, and for the most part don't get to cold, but toasty warms sounds nice!

Harley's # for the dual control t-stat is 98541-04V.  Should be $80 at one of the 20% off shops.  That's with the cover.  At Gerbing it's $100 with another $10 for the cover.

I can get a 15% military discount from Gerbing...

That is great ...   

One question:

If Gerbing is making gloves for H-D and H-D gloves are over-sized, does that mean the Gerbing's are over-sized too?
I just bought a pair of H-D in Large and they were too big for me so I had to sell them and if the size is the same for H-D and Gerbing, then I'm SOL, since Ger.. is out of stock on "Medium".

after countless miles in my gerbing gloves, they no longer feel bulky. nicely broken in to my hands and grips

My Harley gloves are well broken as well.  And I never thought much about them, until I tried my wife's heated liners.  Just as warm and I can switch betwen my middle weight glovee or my rain proof gloves as needed.  I guess I have nothing bad to say about the gloves, only that the liners are just as good and more versitle... As well as cheaper!  I paid 150 after discounst for my gloves. Just bought the liner's for my wife over the summer at 80.

If Gerbing is making gloves for H-D and H-D gloves are over-sized, does that mean the Gerbing's are over-sized too?

The Gerbing gloves I've seen are identical to my Harley Gloves with the execption of the bar and shield logo being missing from the Gerbing branded glove.

I love the ability to control temperature with the rheostat (not really a thermostat), but the real pain is in locating the box for the rheostat.

I have been stuffing it in my jacket with the controls sticking up so I can adjust somewhat easily.

This is doomed as soon as you get off the bike and forget you are wired in, and pulls the control and wiring out the bottom.

I  could do without that, but have not figured out where I could permanently mount the control box to be accessible.

Has anyone drilled holes in the inner fairing to mount the control box?

[naitram]

what about some good industrial velcro? attach it to the tank console

I saw a guy with the belt clip attached to the door of the right side lower.  He's run the feed cord out under the tank and accross the engine guard and then plugged it into the thermostat (rheostat). Claimed it did not get caught up in his leg or against the air cleaner... I don't trust the cords down there. I attach the rheo to the pocket on my FXRG pants.  Can't turn 'em with the gloves on without looking like a monkey humping a football but eventually I get it adjusted.

Not a  bad suggestion, very practical and workable, except I am a little anal and have spent a large sum of $$ for a fairly clean design.

Having said that, the appearance of a very practical solution like velcro doesn't quite meet my expectations.

I might try on a temporary basis and see if I get use to it, since it is a non destruction solution.

may not work for everyone, but i keep mine in the rider backrest slot. keep the knob just above seat level, to adjust i reach behind and just run the side of my index finger across the knob to turn it
