OK, I'm kinda baffled here. I don't read anywhere in the manual that the 18 RTL seat is heated. The grips yes, seat no. Yet when I removed my seat to install the backrest I had to unplug an electrical connection. I know the seat lock is electronic, but that latch is in the frame, the seat only has a post that fits down into that latch. There are no lights or any other kind of electronic device that wires into the seat.....that I know of. If the wire is there for a future mod to install heat, why not tell us that or better still, just add the switch to the fog light/heated grips cluster? As I said before, the Marquis de Saud designed the seat removal procedure but, musta had help from his brother(the Marquis de Keep'emguessing) So I call on you once again for your experience and/or wisdom
