    Does anyone know the wattage of a heated seat? I'm thinking of adding heat to my seat and would like to know what others use. TIA
    Here is the info on the type I installed on my bike. I have 2 pads with 2 switches both on separate 5 amp fuses.

    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
    POWER:
    12 - 14v DC (MAX) input 12 - 14v DC output
    POWER DRAW:
    1.5 amps for a single controller and pad
    DIMENSIONS:
    34mm x 72mm x 9.5mm 1.34 in x 2.83 in x .28 in

    Below are links to fuse blocks that have a built-in relay to power the switched side of their fuse box. The one I like best is the one from twisted throttle. The reason is because all the secondary wire ends going to the accessories are positioned well within the unit offering better protection. It is important to note that each assembly has a total amp capacity (usually 30 amps), with each circuit having a max capacity (usually 10-15 amps).

    A few years ago is the one I used. The disadvantage with this one is that I had to run an external relay to power the key side of the panel. Also, the secondary wires at the side of the panel are more exposed. Because of other fuse blocks available today, this is an example of one I would not use.

    Because fuse block have limitations (max capacity 30 amps), some Wings will require 2 fuse blocks. An example is one with full heated gear for 2, and trailer wiring, not to mention additional lighting.
