Can't find the right heated gear cable...

SR1 · 10-27-2012, 09:13 AM

I have an older Heat Troller hard wired into the bike. It has an SAE output. I have a new Gerbings jacket that is apparently "dual wired" so I have to power jacket and gloves separately.

So, I need a cable that is SAE on one end, and has two coax (females) on the other.

Where do I get this cable? Surely I'm not the only one that needs one of these.

Powerlet doesn't seem to have it...

Can you do something like this?

And then this?

SR1 · 10-27-2012, 08:56 PM

Yes, but the downside is that every connection is another possible place it'll disconnect.

I would like to keep it as simple as possible.

Shrink wrap the connection, that will make it pretty permanent.

SR1 · 11-01-2012, 07:05 AM

Not a bad idea, actually. Thanks!

I just went through this yesterday. Same exact situation. I ended up doing what was suggested, I cut the female coax off one and purchased the old two pin and soldered them together. I used two different sized heat shrink tube so I could double it up. Worked out great, gave it the walk away from bike while plugged in test the very first ride. Hard to get used to that plug again, I have not used one in a couple years.

That's how I unplug myself 90% of the time...

Talk to this guy, he should have everything you need. http://034fdb9.netsolhost.com/bbblog1/category/coax/

Jim at Eastern Beaver will have what you want, if he doesn't he will make it for you.

Good guy to deal with too.

So far, he does not. I'll reach out to the Eastern Beaver guy.

SR1 · 12-11-2012, 09:49 PM

Follow up:

Eastern Beaver wouldn't make it either.

On a lark I called Powerlet. They asked me to send in a drawing, which I did. A week and $34 later I had a 1 meter long Y cable exactly the way I wanted it.

Thanks Powerlet!
