Heated Parts...Tips you need to know!

Here at the home of Adventure H-D in Dover, OH we are expecting a January thaw this week. That is interesting but here is some much more interesting information from Harley-Davidson® about Heated H-D® parts.


Whenever you have to deal with cold chilly temperatures, Harley-Davidson® heated products are there to make the experience more comfortable. So here is some great technical information from Harley-Davidson®

BASIC THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

With the right preparation and a few well-chosen accessories, there is no reason why colder temperatures should bring you down. Extreme cold poses the greatest challenge to maintaining your comfort due to an increased loss of core body heat and numbing of the extremities. However, even moderately cold conditions can affect your riding experience. With the right accessories, you can warm right up to cold-weather riding!

HEATED HAND GRIPS

Your hand temperature has a major impact on your overall body comfort. Having cold hands can make you extremely uncomfortable and could decrease your reaction time. The best way to keep your hands warm and nimble is with Harley-Davidson® Heated Hand Grips.

These thermostatically controlled grips have six heat settings and “intelligent” heating technology that monitors the surface temperature of your grips and adjusts accordingly.

Understanding Functionality

The intelligent technology of the Heated Hand Grips makes them intuitive. When you remove one hand, both grips will sense the air cooling and the system will try to increase the heat on both sides. You need to be aware that in order to maintain a consistent temperature, you have to keep both hands on the grips, otherwise, you may think the Heated Hand Grips are not working properly. Additional information that’s important to note:

• Grips switch on or off with your ignition to avoid draining the battery

• While your hands are on the grips, the temperature of the heated grips remains constant, regardless of changes in outside temperature

• Having a self-contained control circuit and control knob means you have no additional switches or controller boxes to mount

• The thicker your glove, the less heat that will be transferred (even thin gloves with a padded palm would reduce heat transfer from the grip to your hands)

• The “glueless” grip design allows you to remove the grip when changing handlebars or motorcycles

There are several different styles of Heated Hand Grips available to you and they come in sizes that fit all Harley-Davidson® models.


HEATED SEATS AND BACKREST PAD (52300103 & 52300104)

The Harley-Davidson® Sun Ray® Heated Seat can effectively take away the big chill. Designed to accommodate your individual preferences, this heated seat offers dual-zone rider and passenger controls with separate high/low/off toggle controls (many competitive seats only have “on/off”). The settings are thermostatically controlled so you can maintain optimum temperature. The Sun Ray® Heated King Tour-Pak® Backrest Pad also features two levels of heat control for your passenger.

These heated products meet the extensive Harley-Davidson electrical testing requirements to ensure that all wiring and components are durable and can stand up to harsh environments.

QUICK TIPS

Familiarize yourself with the operation of any Harley-Davidson® heated products you purchase so you understand how the products work to maintain temperature settings at a level you are comfortable with while you ride.

• Heated Hand Grips are designed to gently come up to operating temperature so you can easily regulate and not go past your desired temperature (could take up to 20 minutes)

• Glove-friendly control knobs integrated into the grips make it easy for you to adjust heat settings

• Heated Seats have two heating levels. You can get a quick warm-up on high, before switching to low to maintain a comfortable level of warmth

• Additional warmth from a Heated Seat and Heated Backrest Pad will provide you with increased comfort overall, not just at the source of the heat. This is especially important for longer rides. (Note: Installation of both a Heated Seat and a Heated Backrest Pad will require the separate purchase of a “Y” connector adaptor harness)

Harley-Davidson® heated products offer you a huge benefit – by adding a little warmth you can extend your riding day or your riding season.

Harley-Davidson® Tin Signs & New Harley® Jewelry Ensemble

Hello,
It is raining here at the home of  Adventure Harley-Davidson -Dover, Ohio.

Do you like hearing the rain fall on a tin roof? I think that sound is so relaxing. I want to talk about another tin item that has nothing to do with the rain. Harley-Davidson® Tin Signs have arrived.

We just received several new Harley-Davidson® tin signs, here at adventureharley.com. They are oval, rectangular and various shapes and they all have a vibrant message, graphics and color. You can check them out below. They make a great addition to any room.

Tin signs are not the only new items that we have to offer you. The most gorgeous Harley-Davidson® Matching Jewelry ensemble came in a few days ago. It is called "Heart" and it is a limited edition so once these are gone we won't be able to reorder them.

The matching ensemble consists of a necklace, earrings and a stretch ring. You can see them below or on our website.

Have a great week!

Tour Pak® Accessories

Hello,
We are doing it again, offering Free Shipping on Continental USA orders $25-up on Mon. Dec. 3 and Tues. Dec. 4.

I thought you might be interested in finding out more about what is available from Harley-Davidson® for your Tour Pak®.  These items make great gifts.

So the first thing you should know is that all the Tour Pak® kits include required installation hardware.

EZ Tour-Pak® Lid Catch –Allows you to add the convenience of a self-aligning Tour-Pak® lid to your Touring motorcycle. This easy-to-install kit eliminates the need to shift the position of the lid because the latches line up perfectly every time. Then all you have to do is simply close the lid and latch it down.

Premium Tour-Pak® Latches – Styled to complement the Premium Tour-Pak® Hinges, our die-cast latches add a bold look to a motorcycle and feature hidden hardware for a clean appearance. Plus, the front latch wraps around the Original Equipment lock for a custom touch. These latches make access to Tour-Pak® luggage easier than ever. You simply press down on the top of the lid to secure the latching mechanism. The self-aligning design positions the lid perfectly for a no-fuss closure. A simple push of the button releases the lock and pops the lid open for convenience. The kit includes latches for the front and rear.

Premium Tour-Pak® Hinges – You can upgrade the appearance of your Tour-Pak® luggage with these billet-style premium hinges. Designed to complement the Original Equipment Tour-Pak® latches, these hinges add a clean, bold look with no exposed hardware. The complete kit includes two hinges. Note: A drill is required to remove the factory installed hinge mounting rivets.

Tour-Pak® Lock Cover – This elegant die-cast cover is emblazoned with a Bar & Shield logo. To use, the customer simply rotates the domed cover with their thumb to expose the Original Equipment lock. A detent holds the cover in the open position and provides unhindered access for their key. Easy to install, the protective cover is held firmly in place by the Original Equipment lock and lock mounting hardware.

Retractable Tour-Pak® Lid Tether – Allows you to add the convenience of a retractable tether to your Tour-Pak® luggage. When extended to its full length, the strong cord holds the lid open at least 10 degrees past vertical for improved stability and easy packing. Then the device automatically coils the tether cord inside the housing to eliminate pinched cords when closing the lid. The attractive housing with Bar & Shield logo attaches to the existing mounting points and replaces the Original Equipment cord.


Tour-Pak® Luggage and Saddlebag Interior Light Kits – With these accessories, you won’t be left in the dark. A bright convenience lamp kit turns nighttime into day when the Tour-Pak® luggage or saddlebag is opened. A white LED light pod mounts inside the Tour-Pak® to illuminate the interior, and the two available LED light pods mount to the bottom of the Tour-Pak® to cast light inside the open saddlebags. Each LED light pod features a soft-touch micro switch for ease of activation and a five-minute auto shut-off timer to prevent battery drain. The kits include a quick-disconnect wiring harness.
Three kits are available, giving you the option to start with a single light then add on or go with a three-light kit right away.

3-Light Tour-Pak® and Saddlebag Light Kit – Fits ’93-later Touring models (except Trike) equipped with rigid or detachable King or Chopped Tour-Pak® luggage.

1-Light Tour-Pak® Light Kit – Fits ’93-later Touring models (except Trike) equipped with rigid or detachable King or Chopped Tour-Pak® luggage

Saddlebag Light Expansion Kit – Fits ’93-later Touring models (except Trike) equipped with rigid or detachable King or Chopped Tour-Pak® luggage and 1-Light Tour-Pak® Light Kit (two required)

Tour-Pak® Auxiliary Power Port – You can charge a cell phone or portable music player from this handy Tour-Pak® mounted 12-volt power port. Conventional “cigarette lighter” style power outlet accepts most 12V automotive-style power adaptor plugs and features a flip-top cover to protect the port while not in use and easy plug-in installation. Kit includes power port, mounting bracket, wiring harness and all mounting hardware.

Tour-Pak® Wall Organizer – Convenient storage net wraps the interior walls of a King Tour-Pak® for easy access to keys, cell phones, maps and gloves. The organizer features three large nylon mesh pockets with Velcro® closures, two elastic pouches, and two open pouches for easy access. Easily installed with included hook-and-loop tabs.

Tour-Pak® Fitted Lining – This lining can be added to a Touring bike’s luggage to protect belongings and reduce noise and rattles on the road. Soft-touch, felt-finish liner is formed to the interior for a perfect fit. Molded base and sides maximize the interior room, and one-piece design allows easy removal for cleaning and maintenance.

Hope you found this technical information from Harley-Davidson® to be helpful. Note: that in some cases their are versions to fit  model variations so be sure and check out www.adventureharley.com for the Harley-Davidson® parts that you need.
