heated clothing

This stuff beats heated grips / seats etc by far.

Got me a jacket liner and a pair of gloves
comes with a coiled line (bmw connection) fit in the rockets power socket

Absolutely brilliant stuff.

Definately going to check that out. It's starting to get cold in the mornings.

Ditto what G-Man said. Their gear makes all the difference when its in the 30's and 40's out and the wind chill takes you to 10' :shock: Much safer riding when you can actually feel your hands :wink:

In the long gone days when I rode a motorbike (Winter 05/6) I used a Widder sleeveless jerkin and gloves: bought mail-order in US.

Like G-man I put the controller in the pocket on the Triumph leather tank cover and then hooked up to the plug on my jerkin; gloves piggy-backed on from there. It really was superb ... the problem became how to adjust the controller so as not to overheat ... admittedly SW UK is not your east coast US but any 4 hour trip at under 40F needs help I think .. I vote this one of the best add-ons..

Sounds impressive!

Let's say I decided to buy the gloves or a vest liner. What else would I need to make it work on the rocket?

I have the plug that lets you hook up a battery tender to the power socket. Is some other type of connector required.

The Gerbing heated clothing comes with the hookups needed to run right off the battery if you don't have a power socket.

I do have the power socket, does it come with a plug for the socket, or is it purchased separately?

They have a broad selection of connections. The first item fits the R3 socket

Cold weather riding....?????

WTF are you all insane? Oh hell no.. not for me, (not that I'm a fair weather rider mind ya'; but I am allergic to the cold- because its COLD :shock: ).

Thats's why I am moving as far south as I can... even if I have to mount the rocket to a john boat, change the rear wheel to a propeller and float it to Central America.... :twisted:
