Heated Jacket Liner Sale At Cycle Gear

Thanks Bud
I keep thinking about getting heated gear. But….
Concerned C10 might struggle with the power
 
I've not had any issues. I've run both jacket and pants at the same time. My Suzuki can't.
 
I run heated liner and gloves on my C10 and it handles it fine.

I have a voltmeter installed to keep an eye on things.

I have had my gear about 15 years - older style wired jacket (77w) and gloves (15w IIRC) with an older Gerbing pulsing dual controller.

Here's some interesting info on the C10's electrical capacity (at speed, not at idle) in OEM form:
