So I am getting serious about buying an electric jacket liner. I did a little research and these are the brands I hear about most. They all look pretty good. What is everyones opinion on these? Gerbing Widder Tourmaster Aerostich The Tourmaster ones appear to be sold out everywhere. I cannot find them at all. Also, the only one that comes with an SAE connector is the Aerostich. Is this the same type of connector that my battery tender plugs into? If so, that would be pretty handy. (One plug for two things). Thanks for any info / recommendations you have. | ||

While we are on this subject, does anybody know how many amps or what wattage our bikes can safely handle?. I have an XB12Ss if it helps. | ||

Hmm...there's another one to add to the list. I'm so confused!   (Message edited by dtx on December 01, 2007) | ||

481 watts at 3,000 rpm, 494 watts peak This is the output on the electrical system. I got it from: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2006models/2 006models-Buell-UlyssesXB12X.htm | ||

Gerbings will plug into the battery tender plug.I've had my liner for 7 years & it still does great. | ||

Really? Cool. I will check that out because that was the one I was leaning towards. | ||

I have the Aerostich Kanetsu AirVantage electric vest, and it's the best I've EVER used. In the past I've used Eclipse, Gerbings and Widder and the Aerostich puts them all to shame. I got the optional zip-on sleeves for additional warmth. The sleeves are NOT electrically heated, but they add an extra layer of insulation which really helps. The cool (or should I say the "warm?") thing about the vest is the way you can adjust the fit and insulation by blowing air into the vest. This serves two purposes... it presses the heating elements closer to your body, AND the air itself acts like additional insulation. There isn't anything else like it on the market. I also appreciated the lighted on/off switch. I can tell at a glance whether the vest is on or off by simply looking at the switch. If it's lit, the vest is on, if it isn't, it's off. That comes in really handy on a moving motorcycle when you don't have the time to read a switch to see if it's in the the on or off position. When not in use, the cord can be folded up and zipped into a special pocket in the vest specifically for that use. That way you can wear the vest off the bike without trailing a cord behind you everywhere you go, or worrying about where to put it. |
