HEATED CLOTHING " The Best Option"

[Bob Miller]

Hey RXONE I ride in Canada and I like it Highways of snow 8) You would think your in snowmobiling heaven (GITTYUP) You could be cruising right along and you look at the speedo and your doing 80 MPH!

I'm not into the rough trail riding any more :twisted: That's for you young whippersnappers LOL

Say hello to John Danko and Blaine LaPierre for me( Brother Bob)

Simply disconnect one of your headlights and use that point to plug in your jacket. If it was me and I got as cold as you seem to get I would stay in the hot tub with the wives and girlfiriends while your buddies rode :lol:

Yeeee Haaa Mighty Lets Ride Bobs in the hot tub, now he won't slow us down! I continually am unzipping, cause I'm gettin Hot, thats why they have vents in the jacket, Thank GOD!! Honk

For all that are interested! After waking up the Warrior I had an opportunity to monitor the charging system with a Multimeter.
Voltage at idle and at higher revs remains constant about 14.40 volts DC
When cold( while carb heaters are on ) I turned on the Gerbings electric jacket to full power (77 watts) Voltage dropped to 12.80 volts
I turned the jacket off and voltage came back up to 14.40 volts.
I tried again a minute later ( apparently the carb heaters turned off)
The voltage now only dropped off from 14.40 to 14.28 volts. It does not look like there will be any problem with this, and that jacket is NICE

Okay!!/ Now for my two cents worth/ I've purchased the whole suit/ My plan is to disconect the headlites during the day/ and wear nite vision goggles at nite/ As a side note / I've got the three bag storage system on the back of my sled--I bought one of those battery pack jumping systems at Wal-Mart (300) for around $40.00 and it is small enough to fit in the center pouch/ that way if the battery should be a problem I can disconect the suit or part of it and I still have the jumper battery to get started/ I'll keep you posted on any problems I have / later
