In preparation for my ride to North Carolina, I decided to invest in some heated gear. The stealership I purchased my bike at was an authorized dealer for Gerbing. It just so happened that since I purchased my bike there, I receive a 15% discount on any gear/parts/etc.
Is this a common thing among stealerships?
I purchased a heated jacket liner, heated socks, and a single temp. controller. Out the door price = $303.64

It wasn't the coldest day of the year by any means but it was around high 40's when I was out riding. The comfort level cruising on the highway has just went up by leaps and bounds!! I cruised around for about 3 hours with the temp controller only dialed about half way on. The liner and socks along with my heated grips means I will be riding until the snow flies.
The last time I did some highway riding and it was about the same temp, I wore a thermal, turtleneck, sweatshirt, and mesh riding jacket with liner (still was a little chilled when I got home).
This ride I had on a long sleeve, heated liner and mesh riding jacket and I stayed nice and toasty.
Best way to describe it is by putting a sweatshirt in the dryer for about 10 minutes and then taking it out and putting it on right away. Only that warm feeling doesn't go away after a few minutes...
On to the pics!
Last time I posted pics, it didn't work so here is a link to the pics...
Enjoy!
