Question about heated gear..
I have a 2013 Street Glide and was advised by a Revzilla rep that the bike's electrical system is only able to handle a Gerbings jacket liner and a pair of gloves. It will not support a jacket liner and pants. The rep found this information out from a chart Gerbings has. They break down each bike and what the electrical system can handle Im assuming not to tax the stator. The Street Glide was voted a 3.5 or something...The last thing I want to do is pop fuses and drain the electrical system and get stranded somewhere. So my question is...Is there anything I can do to make the system stronger to support the jacket liner, pants and a pair of gloves? I know Gerbings makes the Harley heated gear. I wonder if Gerbings dummies down their gear specifically for Harley so customers can use an entire heated outfit. Like DeWalt does when they sell drills/power tools to the 2 big chain hardware stores...thanks in advance for the help

My wife and I have used Gerbings jackets, pants and gloves on both an 07 Roadking and a Sportster with no problems at all. We even rode two up a couple of times on the Road King with both of us using heated gear with no issues.
I can't imagine that your electrical system is any less robust than what is on these two bikes.

Belated Happy Birthday to the US Marines! My buddy and I ride our bikes ('11 SG and my '04RG) with Gerbins heated gear all the time. I use their heated jacket liner and gloves, while he does the same and even adds the pant liner.
My buddy also uses all this and his wife has the heated jacket liner and gloves when she rides with him. So it should be OK on your new SG. Revzilla is usually good with riding gear/accessory experience/knowledge.
