[QUOTE="Flylooper, post: 1168798, member: 904"] On my '04 I I installed a Powerlet receptacle on the frame beneath the seat (near the seat lock). The Powerlet wire (fused) runs directly to the battery so that it's hot when the bike isn't running. That way I can use the receptacle for an air compressor. The control module for my Widder vest is velcro'd to the top of my side case. One lead goes to the Powerlet receptacle and the other to my vest. With it arranged that way, I can turn the vest on or off, or adjust temperature as the situation requires, while underway. I just reach back with my left hand. There are probably more elegant arrangements, but this has worked for me for years. [/QUOTE]
