It will make a nice ride, anyway.

I have a battery tender jack already hard-wired to the bike. I've never had one on the Harleys, as I continue to ride through the winter, and have just never needed one. So here is the question of the day - can I just run my vest through that, maybe with the proper plug adapter? Or does it need to be fused, or is the vest fused? It would be great if it was just plug and play on the existing jack.

Jeff,

I use a Gerbing jacket liner. I bought their seperate heat troller/controller. I was going to use my battery tender plug but when I called Gerbing they didn't recommend it. So I just added an additional plug on the battery. That ened up working out better because I was able to use the battery tender lead to hard wire my GPS.

I feel about heated gear the same way I felt after finally getting a cool shirt for the race car. Why did I wait so long?

Greg, Sorry to hear about your Duc. I did a similiar thing myself, I feel your pain.

I'm an all black leather kind of guy myself. Never really cared for the bright multi colored stuff.
