Ryan has been running one on his own bike for years, and this update video covers the seven new models he's most excited about, plus a full rundown of charging accessories to help you get the most out of whatever port you install. We've added seven new models to the Law Abiding Biker Store, opening up a ton of new options for heated gear, charging, and accessories. If you already own a StealthPort, this video is going to make you want to upgrade. If you're new to it, this is the perfect time to get one. Shop the full StealthPort lineup — all original models and all seven new ones — at the Law Abiding Biker Store. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Nothing is being discontinued. The original mid-frame mounts, top mounts, and heat deflector mounts are all still available and still the right choice for a lot of riders — it just depends on what gear you're running. If a single SAE port is all you need, those original models are solid. I ran a single mid-frame mount for years using a Gerbing SAE-to-barrel plug conversion cord from the Law Abiding Biker Store to power my heated gear. It works great. But as you'll see below, the new models open up options that make it hard to go back. One important note: if your bike has heat deflectors, you need the heat deflector mount — not the standard mid-frame. Both are available in the store with full fitment information. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!  Think through your setup before ordering:   Single port, just need to tender and occasionally run one accessory? Original models or the new single heated panels work great.  Want dedicated heated gear plug AND a free SAE port? Mid-frame heated panel or top mount single heated panel.  Riding two-up with a passenger who also runs heated gear? Dual heated panel top mount.  Want maximum SAE flexibility with conversion options? Double top mount.  Softail? Coil mount or tank mount depending on your year.  Heat deflectors? Make sure you get the heat deflector mount — it's in the store.   For pre-2024 Harleys without factory accessory barrel plugs, LAB carries the conversion cord that lets you connect directly to the battery. You're covered regardless of year.  And yes — more models will be added over time. Check back at the Law Abiding Biker Store for the latest.
