RE: [ST] re: Electric Vest--careful with this



I had seen this site before and used it a bit as I made my own electric
liner. I made one using my Triumph jacket's liner, and it works great.

The thing to watch out for on this site is the fact that it calls for 30
gauge wire specifically. You need to base your gauge choice on desired
wattage and wire length.

For my liner, 28 gauge worked better. If anyone wants me to go more in
depth, let me know. Making your own liner is easy, fun, and cost effective.

Subject: [ST] re: Electric Vest


hey, guys, this ain't rocket science. i was wandering the web one day and
ran across

http://www.shadowriders.org/faq/electricvests.html

i grabbed a nice Old Navy vest my son gave me, bought a roll of wire, some
'perf look' liner material at the fabric store, some sewing glue, and had
at it. the vest is unchanged on the outside; the connection wire folds up
in the left pocket.

i'm still at the mercy of my summer-leather jacket, perforated for
flatland summer comfort; it loses more heat than i like, but i can do the
15 minute ride to work at 33 degrees.

[the wife had me try on a Triumph Evolution jacket at the Dallas bike
show, and wants to buy me one !!].

cheers
