JimMoore Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Hi Guys, I'd like to figure out a way to plug in my heated liner / glove combo. My Beemer came with a plug-in socket from the factory. Can I wire something like that up on my '98? Does the '98 create enough juice to run something like that. I know there are rectifier and stator issues with these bikes, but I don't know how heated clothing would affect those potential issues. Thanks, Jim Moore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer raYzerman Posted March 4, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted March 4, 2020 Try Warm&Safe, look for panel mount sockets, and I'd go with the coax as it is smaller format than Powerlet. They do have some Powerlet (BMW) sockets as well. https://www.warmnsafe.com/ https://www.warmnsafe.com/collections/accessories-cables/products/coax-jack-panel-mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimMoore Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks guys. That Gerbings stuff looks like just what I need. How does the bike itself handle the power requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted March 4, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted March 4, 2020 Never had any issues running my Keis heated jacket and gloves on any of my VFRs (5th, 6th, 800X and 1200F). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
