Guest MotoGeezr Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 I'm ordering a heated vest and a set of heated grips asap. Any recommendations from someone who has experience with these things? Thanks Lemuel
Guest bshpilot Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 GERBINGS for the heated gear. I've ridden in my aerostich RoadCrafter (2pc) and Gerbings Jacket Liner as low as 17degrees (over 300mi). I've also got the gerbings socks...and their HEAVY winter/heated gloves. Make sure you get sized properly for the jacket...it should fit "snug" not too loose or too restrictive/tight...it wont keep you warm if its not "snug" against your body. dont know what bike your considering this for use on...but make SURE youve got the electrical system to support it.... the jacket is 77w and the gloves and socks are 22watts EACH... (my bmw alternator puts out over 800w so ive got the room for the "extras" on it). theres a REVIEW of the stuff on WEBBIKEWORLD.COM

In fact, I used them for about 6 hours today on my 600 miler to the NE MG rally and back. They have high low setting, are balaced, and do not pull much at all from the battery. When I installed mine I installed a nice set of gel grips too and am happy with both. Not sure where I bought or what I payed but these are the ones: http://www.amotostuff.com/Merchant2/mercha...Code=electrical
Guest MotoGeezr Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 I like the Gerbing site. I have an '03 LeMans. Is there enough alternator there for the heated vest, gloves and driving lights? Regards, Lemuel
jrt Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I doubt it. What's the wattage on the lights? I have heated gloves and while they are 'ok', they aren't the best thing in the world. Still, I'm good down to about 17 F myself. I wear a roadcrafter and a warm fuzzy pullover- no need for a vest.
