OK, its all making sense now. The liners come with a couple plugs on each liner and a Y plug a couple feet long. I buy that coax adapter you posted and plug it into my battery tender plug. So I assume its just either on or off, as far as simple liners go, correct? If they get to hot, unplug them, if your hands are cold, plug them in, no?

So my question is, can I use any of those plugs already hanging on the bike like the battery tender pigtail or the cigarette lighter plug to power my glove liners? If so, what brand liners or gloves use these plugs? If I have to put more wires on the battery, I will, but it sure would be nice to use a plug thats already hanging on the bike. Opinions please.
Are you riding a winnebago or a motorcycle? You'd best slap a Honda generator on the pillion seat (I'd refer to it as a 'bitch pad' but you're obviously married to a wonderful woman if all she really demands is to have power for her MP3 player) to handle all that crap!

Hey, I'm managing all this nonsense on a Dyna no less. Not a Road Sofa like most of the long haulers on this site. Yeah, the wife is tougher than me. "I'm" the one who needs the heated gloves. All she needs is her MP3 and she's good.

Then she's a real 'keeper'....I've looked back and found mine fast asleep as I sweep through mountain curves at 90 mph.

And Dynas are real bikes, not 'road sofa's' as you say, and one hell of a lot easier to clean and work on than some barge of a bagger!

You will also want a switch. Its a 6-8 inch cable with a lighted switch that plugs between the pigtail and the gloves. Unplugging and re-plugging is nearly impossible while riding, turniong the switch on or off is easy.

You can also use a heat-troller. Buy the Dual, as you will eventually want to add a vest or jacket liner, and would then have to replace the single for the dual..
