One problem I have, because I'm fat, is I cannot get heated clothing which is big enough to be comfortable.

I can get unheated gear large enough, no problem.

I posted about Kustom Komfort some time ago, they made the 0-100% variable controls for me which I mounted in the electrical pod I put on a stem tube ram mount. These are attached to BMW sockets (2) so I have two seperate, 10A, circuits for heated gear.

Turns out, Kustom Komfort sells a heating kit for liners, which they have sold for 3 decades to snow rescuse teams, including polar Coast Guard and Navy applications. They provide heavy gauge coated wires which are easy to insert inside liners or quilted gear (for example), and can even be removed if you need to replace the liner.

These kits provide really good heat, and you can arrange the wires to get what you want. Instructions are good, and they show common arrangements.

So since I have a good quilted liner in my Cortech jacket, and the jacket is waterprooof, I think I'll use that liner for my test case.

Kustom Komfort will put any length cord on your want, but I want to use a BMW coiled cord with the (of course) BMW plug on it. So I'll just have to solder it to the provided cord "inside" the liner, and then anchor the cord in the liner so it won't pull out. Pretty easy to do.

Cost to get a headed jacket? $30.00 ! Not bad.

Once I find a pair of pants with a liner big enough, I'll do the pants too. I may have to look elsewhere than motorcycle clothing because nobody has anything big enough to fit with the liner installed.

Well, I'm going to the doctor next week, I think I'll ask about getting my stomach stapled, that will solve that problem. LOL.

Layers work well, but I try not to ride when the temperature does not allow the tires to get traction.... Hooked it a few times and almost lost it hammering it, now I am glad to put the bike in Garage and do my projects over the winter.
Privateer I tried to send you a "Private Message" but can not do it for whatever reason. Please send me one if you can. If you cant I will give you my personal Email (Obviously I do not want to put it up here to get spammed by some shitbag). Thanks

Somehow my "accept private messages" in profile got turned off. I put it back to "yes" so fire away.

I don't like to wear layers, I hate the bulky feeling. Even my waterproof jacket with the liner in is pushing the limit of what I will put up with.

So by putting the Kustom Komfort kit into that liner, I get to use it as a plain liner, or as a heated liner, all for $30 plus some odds and ends to use it with my variable controlled BMW sockets.

seno, what some do is spell out the abbreviations.

But I don't care if some spammer copies it and tries to spam me. I run MailWasher Pro, which intercepts my inbound mail, and lets me mark the stuff that is spam (and gives me the tools to identify that it is) and then submits it to SpamCop for reporting.

It really works, I bet I have gotten at least 100 punks' email accounts banned in 2011 alone. Its a sport to me.
