The factory plug won't reach far enough to plug into the seat. BTW... The seat I picked up was a dealer take off for $300..

Couldn't pass that deal up..

I'm green with envey, you stole that seat. Now you need the matching tour pak backrest. I'm going with the regular heated Hammock.... Unless a deal like yours comes along, I've been looking.

Congrats, go buy a lottery ticket, you have the luck.

Would it be rubbing you nose in it to tell you that about a month ago I picked up CVO takeoff slipstream floorboards highway pegs brake pad and shift pads.. $150 for everything.... sometimes you just luck into stuff and I have been on a roll lately..

Scott, hope you get the seat soon. I am on the 3rd day in a row of riding in 40 degree weather with only heated seat, grips, gloves, chaps, and then jeans, poly pro shirt, riding jacket, and either half or full face helmet. No issues at all. I have to say, the seat plays a big role in it. A warm *** and ***** can't be beat.

My dealer had a early Black Friday sale this week. 30% off all HD parts. At that point a $900 seat becomes a $600 seat. At that price, I could not say no. Looking forward to riding this spring in warmth.

Just might make it messy under that cover but would give you more "line length" to reach other devices. But for me, I would use it as a splitter to the end of the adapter. Hope that makes sense. I am only part of the way through my coffee today.

Boy do I feel dumb: Rode into my dealership today to find my electrical harness connection for a heated seat. The service manager took my bike to the tech who had installed the XM Module and Garage door opener, he quickly showed us the location. He had nicely tucked the connector next to the left frame rail. Could not have been easier to find!!!! I took a shot showing the location. I pulled it out a bit so you could see the end. IMO, this is a great location for the harness, will be easy to hook up when ready.

I like the way that the thigh area feels on the CVO seat. I'm not really sure why as you can see from the picture, they look to be the same width in the thigh area.
