Becky,
I have been using Gerbing electrics for the past 7 years and never had a problem. I use heated gloves (about $140) and their thin jacket liner (about $200). The jacket has long sleeves and both items do their job well. I also have a gerbing heat control unit (about $70), their portable type which I velcro to the front of the plastic inside of the fake left side air cleaner. I plug the controller into the accesory socket, it uses a BMW type plug. When not in use I have the plug velcroed just behind the accesory socket. I also velcro the plug in for the jacket to the left side passenger foot peg holder at the top, inside. The plug coming off of the heat controler plugs into the jacket and if you use gloves they plug into the sleeves of the jacket liner, or you can use the gloves alone with a wiring harness supplied with the gloves.
