Heated gloves / Driver solo backrest
Hello everyone. Winter will be before you know it, and I'm not one of those who hangs the keys up until Spring. i ride year-round, and need to get my hands (get it? ) on a set of wired gloves. I would prefer the whole harness that plugs into the battery, but can purchase those separately. BTW, I hate ebay. I was bidding on a Gerbing set for $65 (all wires included) and had the high bid for 3 days. Someone outbid me with 3 seconds to go. i didn't get my new bid entered in time. they won. AAARRRGGG!
I also need a driver solo backrest. I have an 01 1500 (Nomad). Donations are happily accepted as well.

Hey Bama, for online purchases try Amazon - they have everything ebay has, including many of the same vendors, without the bidding and sniping. You are certainly thinking ahead for heated gloves so soon. I was given a set of Firstgear glove LINERS for father's day that I have yet to test drive...almost looking forward to cooler weather (almost). The gloves are part of an expandable system that includes a jacket liner, pant liners and boot liners. They all clip to each other and into a single harnesses to plug into the battery with a wireless thermostat. So far I only have the glove and jacket liners and I believe that's all I'll need but good to know I can expand if desired. I'm not sure of the cost (it was a gift afterall) but the liners gotta be less than full gloves or jackets would be. While you're shopping be aware of expandability, whether you'd be able to share cables and thermostats between future additions.

I cried because I had no heated gloves...until I meant a man who had no fingers.

I have pair of the Gerbing heated gloves. Couldn't do without them when the temps get down in to the 30's. Between them and the engine guard chaps I should be able to ride off and on during the winter if the Old Farmer's Almanac isn't right this year.

trick to ebay is bid what you are willing to pay for a item and if it goes for more than that you have no regrets

After my old gloves pooped out last winter, I bought a pair of these. Great gloves and makes those cold rides much more enjoyable!

I know you said that you got all of the wiring. I'm just checking to make sure that you got either an on/off switch or a controller with them.

The temp switch is more expensive. So you got a really good deal on that setup.
