• 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.

Heated Gloves connection Point for F3?

Looking into Oxford Hot Gloves that connect to a battery Location for power!
Would the connection (2 Wires) under the Back seat be considered a DC connection to power the gloves?
It would be easy to Velcro the main attachment point to near the front of the Seat and have the wires through the jacket plugged into the gloves.
I'm trying to avoid replacing grips and the Reviews seem to indicate Heated Gloves are as Good or better than Heated grips?

I ran the battery tender / Flat plug wire that is factory installed n fused = heavy duty back to the seat but if you're just installing heated gloves you can just run it up through underneath the speedo cowl.. Very easy to do..

I connected my heated gloves to the wires under the seat when I picked up my F3 last February. It worked just fine. When I had a lot of the Tupperware off to install the heated grips and GPS, I ran a dedicated power line for the gloves from the battery. All in all, I prefer heated gloves over heated grips, since the cold blast is on the outside of the hands. The heated grips help take the edge off, which is why I got them as well as the heated gloves.

I have a M/F plug in the trunk I plug my maintainer and my Slime Tiny Tire Top Off Compressor too So if I could put a M/F connector on the Gloves I could use it for All three.
Any Recommendation on Heated Gloves (least expensive?)?

That's exactly what I did initially - put the spade connectors on the heated gear power cord so it would plug directly into the harness under the seat. (I also wear a heated jacket liner.)

I've only used Tourmaster Synergy gloves. They're ok. Not sure if they're the cheapest or the best!

Now that you mention that I think I would be better off under the seat with the 1st Gear "Warm and safe" glove liners I'm going to get because I could organize All the wires better under the seat and even have the controller in there with just a few inches of the power connector coming out the forward right side to plug into. I'm sure I could set it at the proper percentage of power for the outside temp fairly easy and if need be stop and change the setting.
This would insure its only on with the F3 running and I wouldn't have to deal with the controller wiring All up and around the dash area.
I just want to be positive those under seat connectors are OK for heated gloves- That's All I need because I have the First Gear thermal suit.
Thanks for your explanations!

for sure go with liners I did this because I wore so many gloves out I just took some of my gloves that the liner. Was packed down in and used the liners or pull the liner wrong side out on a pair and cut out and use the shell ,as for the power wire I ran mine to the center by the steering stem then I can put my controller in my tank bag or clip to my jacket pocket
