    Firstgear Dual Remote Control Heat-Troller Holder

    As some of you know the best way to stay warm during winter riding is to use heated gear. I have pretty popular heated gear set from Firstgear (gloves liners, jacket liner, pans liner, socks liners) with Dual Remote Control Heat-Troller. I use this particular model https://www.amazon.com/Firstgear-Dua...ustomerReviews





    It was mounted on my handlebar on the front brake fluid container during last couple years with ziptie and it looked pretty sketchy and not accurate. So I decided to design holder for the heattroller to mount it nice and firm.




    So to build your own heattroller holder for your Buell XB you need to :

    - have access to extrusion 3D printer
    - download this STL model of the holder I shared https://drive.google.com/file/d/12k0...ew?usp=sharing
    - buy 2 Alloy Steel Flanged Button Head Screws Black-Oxide, M6 x 1.00 mm Thread, 50mm Long https://www.mcmaster.com/#92137a685/=1cagisq
    - buy a short piece of aluminum tube 0.245" Inside Diameter , 3/8" Outside Diameter https://www.mcmaster.com/#1968t69/=1cagjhi

    Upload the STL model to the 3D Printer and print the holder using UV resistant strong plastic filament





    Extract the holder from the 3D Printer and install heattroller and attach ziptie to the channels on the back side









    Cut two spacers from the aluminum tube. Each spacer should be 29.8 mm long.





    Unscrew the clamp from the front brake bracket





    Attach screws and spacers to the holder







    Attach the clamp to the holder





    Install the holder with heattroller on the front brake bracket











    Enjoy warm ride!

    That's because of you don't ride at cold weather. I ride all year round and sometimes below freezing temperature.

    I ate mandarin and some tangerine peel sticked to the nail.

    It means it is not cold enough, or you ride not long enough, or you ride not fast enough, or all together if heated grips is enough.

    After all that .... the best you could come up with is a zip tie to hold it in place . Why not water jet some amazing metal clamp. Or build yer own controller that isn't the size of an 8 track player. I'm a little let down.
