What's the best way to hook up a heated best on a CB1100?
RE: Heated Vest - the Ferret - 11-09-2013
I use the power cord from my battery tender and a coupler to my jacket liner, but your vest should have come with a piece that hooks directly to the battery and then gets plugged into a cord from the vest.
If you go to hook up anything to your battery the tool tray is held in with a jis or phillips type screw that many of us found way too tight AND a push pin fastener.

Shouldnt you need some sort of heat controller? I know I have one for my heated gear.

Yes you need a heat controller between the vest and the power

I have never used a heat controller. A simple toggle switch sitting on my left thigh is all I need. If it gets to hot, I just cycle it off for a couple minutes. I can operate the switch with heavy gloves very easy. Works for me!

Some heated gear comes with a heat controller (like Tour Master) but other brands make you pay extra for it.
