heated vest liner

[KRAZYKAT]

so i picked up one of these heated vest liners and was wondering if anyone else had gotten one? i need some opinions on where to run the wires? im sure i will figure it out, but thought it wouldnt hurt to see if anyone else had done something interesting.

Run the wires? I've got a Gerbing heated liner. It attaches to a plug, which attaches to a set of rings. One of the positive terminal, one on the negative.

yeah mine to. but that thingy that connects it to the battery, and to the plug on the vest, i think its called a wire? lol
sorry i couldnt help it. but yeah mine too connects to the battery. i was thinking about cutting a hole in the front of the seat, weatherizing it, and that way i could plug it in there with out all the wirey mess.
what did u do?

I just pull mine out from under the seat when I'm using it, and tuck it in when I'm not.

thats probably the best thing to do. but with that wire and the two way radios wired up, i feel like some sort of cycling cyborg.

Just be sure to put wires where they will not get pinched and short out.

I wired mine from the battery to a relay and the plug sits out between the body panels forward of the seat. The plug doubles as a battery tender plug. The wiring is easily tucked away when I don`t need it. The brand I use is Freedom.
