I am thinking of getting some Gerbings heated gear  Inlove   I like the Microwire Jacket and gloves.  The question is - does anyone else run electrical gear on their Street Triples and do you know the electrical power draw capacity (Watts) for the Streety?

BTW, Gerbings is having their yearly open house next weekend in Tumwater, Wa from 09:00 to 14:00.

I don't recall the capacity, but I'm sure you can find it listed in another forum.  I think it is 400-watts total.

I have the Oxford heated grips as well as an old-fashioned Widder heated vest.  I would estimate this is 60-watts if all turned on max, and I have not had any issues running in temps down to the teens.  The Gerbings kit looks to be some of the best, enjoy.

I think the jacket is around 75 watts and the gloves 45.  Never had heated gear before but I am ready to make the jump.

We get lots of damp cold weather up here in the NW so keeping warm especially for your hands is tough.  I am tired of freezing fingertips and putting bike away because of the temperature   Thumbsdown

If you have never ridden with heated gear before, you will be AMAZED.  Seriously - it changes the game in cold weather.
