Added a heated seat to the bike :-)

I have been thinking of doing this for a while, but wanted to find the neatest and cheapest way to do it, so the plan was...

Buy a simple car retrofit kit off ebay:

I took the seat off the bike, and pulled out all the staples to get the cover off and then stuck the heat pads to the foam. Took abit of time to line up all the cables through the foam to do a neat job.

I then wired it up with the relay that was included with the kit and installed my own waterproof connector under the seat, so the seat was still removable.

Then I installed the switch next to the foglights switch on the dash which looks nice and neat.

Overall took about 2 hours to fit. Took my time making sure the seat cover was stapled back in place tight and as neat as I could, this took most of the time. Used about 100 staples!! Can't even see there is a heating element underneath as well.

Took the bike for a spin for 40 miles or so in 3 degrees C weather and it was so hot on high that it was nearly burns!! Beautiful. The other half loved it too.
