snakeoil, that is so BAD! Actually I'm not a real Canadian because I live on the west coast and we are seen as wimps out here by the rest of Canada. "Oh No ! the water on the fishpond is frozen...we're all going to die! " Believe it or not my town has palm trees and the odd banana tree but it can also get a little chilly in the winter. Better go check my igloo...now where is that snow suit??? thanks for the tire info.

Hi Maia,
Just hook the vest directly on the battery, start the engine, switch the vest on, and measure the voltage drop (or direct current if you can). In theory everything is possible, but the reality counts. I sometimes wear my electrical heated gloves on the bomber (I know it's not a CB72), without issue's (heating level 1 which is the lowest current 1.0 amps).

1. Start bike
2. Warm up bike
3. Put gloves on motor till they start to smoke
4. Take gloves off motor and put on hands
5. When gloves get cold, pull over and repeat
