    One suggestion Bill . If you connect heated clothing turn off passing lights. just to be on safe side ,and preserve juice. Termostats / controlers are helping too. something Mast have with heated clothing. in Verry cold days rides ( low 20F ). I'M dial full blast of heat, most of the time is beetwen 1-3 out of 7. Gerbings are good , but Widder has better heat transfer, and consuming less power.

    I Think thats causing cuse your monitor is set on low resolution. check monitor setings on your computer. Higher resolution will give you more room on monitor.

    Check out This Article: Homemade Heated Clothing MATERIALS: Gerbing connectors for the newly wired clothing The connectors need a foot or more of 16 or 18AWG wire. 33 feet of 30AWG stranded wire per jacket or slacks The 33' of 30AWG will draw about 54 watts at 13.5 VDC. Scotch Locks and heat shrink to make connections, A Gerbing "Y" if you have a single knob controller. The "Y&" allows you to split the power to feed multiple units. Note that each unit draws 4.5 Amps when using 33' of 30AWG. DIRECTIONS: You sew the 30AWG to the inside of the jacket then place a liner over the wire to keep it from snagging. You could also sew the 30AWG under the liner of a lined jacket. The 30AWG wire is a really thin wire, you can hardly see the copper inside. You connect the 30AWG to the 16AWG using a Scotch Lock, seal with heat shrink then fasten the sealed connection to the jacket. The 16AWG comes out of your jacket and the end with the Gerbing connector plugs into your controller. The wiring is not spread uniformly under the jacket. The front of the arms and the chest get more wire than the rear because that is where you need the most heat. The connection to the motorcycle requires: connectors to cycle battery = $17 with 10A inline fuse (included above) and power distribution wire (have) (included above) 15A PWM Controller with OFF to 100% = $100 with quick disconnect connector(included above). This is the Heat-troller heat shrink tubes Instructions on do it yourself: Electrically Heated Clothing and Image of Dimmer which refers to Variable Heat Controller Use a relay when bike has a radio - Variable Heat Controller with Relay Controllers can be found at Wam n Safe. Heat-troller Portable Dual with battery harness $99.95. Designed to control 2 different sections.

    Here is tip how to fix CB antenna if has snap by black plastic coil. I Have VentureRider antenna flag hang on cb antenna. was Good for couple months, and I was confident is secure,and my CB antenna was safe. Oh boy I was wrong. On one of rides on expressway with high head wind CB antenna is just snap. Call my dealer to see how much is Yamaha replacement, and Rep. supprice me with price ~$200.00. Next Step was this site and i have bunch of suggestions. Firestick Was one of them, but I didnt like how look, as well if I have to replace CB antena ,AM/FM has to be replaced to match look. Some Additional Harware is Involved to fold antennas for Rain cover. Midland car magnetic antenna is pick my attencion Midland 18-2442 Mag Mount Antenna. http://joe.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p634299dt.jpg X Close Window And looks like this one. Antenna is connected to Magnetic Base with M6 ( Metric 6 mm ) Yamahas antena top is made from brass and cromed so i'm drill 4,5mm and make M6 tread. Next step is to find M6 screw and cut off head and use as post. Twist on antenna and job is done. Total Cost Is $20. Friend of mine Has SWR Meter and he is test antenna before I Start using, and was no need to tune. Check Out Pic's
