I have a powerlet between the bars and one on under the right pocket cover. Added a 12vdc outlet inside the right pocket and dual USB outlets inside the left pocket.
When using the heated gear (I ride year round and only ever turn on the gloves) I've put the dual controller in different spots i.e. small tank bag plugged in on right side powerlet, on top of clutch reservoir, and inside left pocket. The last two Velcro''d in place and plugged into powerlet between bars.
To tell you the truth, I don't like any of the spots but on top of clutch reservoir seems to be the most useful in terms of adjusting the temp.
I thought about mounting the controller under the left pocket cover with only the knobs showing but ended up using that spot for added lighting switches.
As for the indicator, like others I try to grab another gear if I'm feeling it needs a shift, if it doesn't shift to 6th I don't try again.
let us know what you come up with.
