Heated gear power cords
Can I put the Gerbing plug leads directly to the battery on a 2021 RTL, like on my bike?
Thanks ... gotta keep the bride warm!

I do not know any details of the 2021 wiring but directly to the battery is the only place I would put them on my '14 RT-S. I'll wager the '21 wiring is essentially the same as the '14.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

For me its safer not having a + cable anywhere around the steering system not much room. From experience I am confident that my set up would not cause an issue and hasnt for years. No way the heated gear would over amp that + battery cable or a spike would be any different from the same cable 2 feet away.
If your old enough the starter relay on the fender was the popular + tie point and now on all electric fork trucks/pallet jacks... you tie into the first point of the positive and negative and that's on the main control boards not the battery it self.
*I think the "connect directly to battery is a legal protection statement too not have us tie into a small gauge + wire like the 12v in the trunk of the 2019 and older models or anything else.
Its also just a jacket the boss wears and I agree if your going full heated everything the of course a separate power point makes sense.
No problems with a healthy conversation right

Have one connected to battery 17 RTS. Jacket gloves insols. Works great. It doubles as my battery tender connection also.
