Mods for STS
Looks clean and complete. Much better than the flat iron of the
original saddle bag mounts.
Nice job.
Cheers, David C.

I added a dual zone Heat Troller to the ST-S today. I like to control the gloves separate from the jacket. I also added waterproof plugs for both with it. I used a replay so they would go off with the key.

Gerbing, Warm & Safe, First Gear, nearly any manufacturer uses these plugs, and the Heat Troller works with all of them. I have a First Gear Jacket and Gerbings gloves, and they use the same connectors.
I get this kit here: http://www.warmnsafe.com/dual-mounte...ler-old-style/
I have this kit on my BMW and have installed at least a dozen of them on a variety of bikes.

Works great.
If you use the orange plug, it is for air suspension I think, and the red and black wires have switched power and the right connectors if you pull them out of the plug, it is a dead easy install.
Ignore the Posi-Tap. I am using that red hot wire to activate a relay for my heated gear, also.

Great thread Jim. I'm going to shamelessly rip-off what you did when I install my new driving lights over the winter.
Major sir!

No shame. We all learned from someone else at some point.

Way to go on your project.

Thanks Dave. My wife really likes how they look. They are quite functional as well.

So after a couple of weeks have you had any problems with that USB port? I read the reviews of it on Amazon and a couple of people mentioned it wasn't suitable for USB-C applications as the internal components aren't up to the advertised rating.
There's also a variation that includes a voltage readout between the USB ports.

No, no issues. It works well in the rain too. I suspect their issues are more with their devices. Some, especially iPhones, don't work well with non Apple USBs.
