For decades I wore layer upon layer and always said I was not cold (and believed it)....but a few years ago when I started using a heated jacket liner it was amazing...even at 30* I was actually warm (and realized that I never really was warm before, just less cold)....
Plus I no longer look and move like Ralphie from the Christmas story.

I believe it! Thanks for the input. I've a great HD leather jacket but I've wondered about the heated vest. Think you just synched the deal for me... I've a closet of HD jackets and various thickness riding jackets. The vest may allow me to use some of them more often with a heated vest.
I'm really impressed with the 12v system. My 7.2v gloves worked and do...but they just really took the chill off my hand/fingers. These HD 12V/Gerber gloves actually feel WARM!
Very cool photos! Is it the photographer, the camera, or photo-shopping...they are really nice!

Thanks man. Amazing how specialized equipment will give that extra impact!

Skip the vest. Get a heated jacket.
With a heated vest and gloves, you'd think fingers plus core, is happy.
Having the jacket, instead of the vest, makes it happier.
I've ridden with heated socks, and that's happiest.
Watch your Amperage draw. Had to bump-start an old Honda 1100, after running heated gear and stopping for lunch (it's fun as Hell watching a couple of your Harley-riding friends push a Honda, looking in your rear-view mirror, laughing, while sitting in a Honda's saddle).
Having individual on/off switches, I could alternate gloves and socks for the ride home, and the battery had enough juice to start the bike after rest stops (I might have been pushing it by myself, after the first episode).
Charging output on newer bikes is decades better, but check your specs.
Got reverse shifter on, new grips on and some progress pictures of my tank from Legendary.
I'm just curious why you didn't source one of the Buell style rearset shifters? In the later years they would just bolt onto the engine. The originals were a bit of Rube Goldberg, but by the 2000s they were specifically designed for each model. Using one of these you will still have the standard shift pattern.
