• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Add Additional Hotwire Jacket Heat Controller

I have been using the Hotwire Jacket and gloves for years on the 2007 Kawasaki 900 I traded in on my 2017 Spyder RT SE6. From those of you far more familiar with the electrics in these Spyders, will the system handle an additional heated jacket controller & wiring? I never took any passengers on my other bikes, but with the Spyder I can now take my lady friend with me. Weather & conditions permitting, I ride all year round up here in CT. I just want to keep her comfortable while we are traveling in much cooler/colder conditions. Thank you for any input. I definitely don't want to take a chance on overloading the system.

Yes even more so then my 2012 RTL because you have a larger alternator to draw from. Wire both controllers directly to the battery.I use the warm and safe Bluetooth controllers.
 
I wired right from the + on the back of the alternator vs from the Batt up front.:thumbup:

I have my RT wired for two and no issues. Ran mine directly from the battery with a fuse in each circuit.
 
There is a sedici splitter available,shouldn't need dual hookups?I also use the tender plug adapter versus direct wiring.Original plugs are on sleds.
