I have the Firstgear (Warm and Safe) jacket liner for myself but I wanted to know if I bought my wife the 65 watt jacket liner for her, would the Uly be able to handle that demand from the alt/battery? Also I have the Harley-Davidson® Y-Plug Splitter, For Heated Clothing 98539-04V, can I feed both jackets through this or should I set each one connected to the battery individually. One more thing, will the new jacket need a heat troller or can I just run it straight through? tanks for your time. | ||

Individual wiring. Run a second pigtail to the grab rail. I did years ago and it worked fine. No charging issues (I assume you have a volt monitor). Get a heat-troller for her. Unless she wants one of two positions - freeze, or cook. | ||

Thanks rat! Ummm whats a pig tail and how do I attach to the grab rail? | ||

The pigtail is the wire that attaches to the battery, and has the plug for the heat-troller. I ran mine back under the seat, through a gap under the grab rail, and zip tied it with about 6" of loose wire at the end. | ||

What would happen if I used the split "pigtail" for both the 90 watt jacket in one hole and the 65 watt jacket in the other hole? | ||

You'd overload the wiring, it's not heavy enough gauge. If the split pigtail is plugged into a heat-troller, you'll overload that too. You're welcome to try...but for the price of a $12 pigtail it's not worth it in my book. Just do it the right way. |
