heated grip - easy solution

Post by homie »

Seems like a interesting twist on an age old problem, one without permanent installation or excessive cost. Lace them on, take them off like shoes 8)

Hmmmm. Tempting.
I have borrowed the spouse's heated gloves (at 165 clams US) on occasion, and they are quite nice, but this looks to be a pretty elegant solution at a far more reasonable price. I also question how much protection the heated gloves offer, since I think they are more for snowmobile use.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

:roll: homie, good idea but what do the Harley biker reviewer's say? Overall quality? Gotta be a downside to these ezy grip heaters.

Sorry WN, I know nothing more about this product 'heated grip covers'. Hoping one of you guys might spring for it and give us a review. Sounds too good to be true. I guess the electrical connection moves with the throttle so beware. If it's built to Harley's accessory standards paying a premium for quality gear and suffering no fools, that crowd will give it terrible reviews if crappo.

Slightly different part number, but it would appear that the price is maybe a bit higher with the ebay seller.

I also found the exact part# at Honda of the Ozarks

Given the snow that is currently falling, thinking about heated grips is pretty appealing. Wiring these into a battery-tender compatible plug would make removal for the warmer weather a breeze.

If you feel cheap and don't need as much heat then this cheap ebay kit might be for you.

I bought this kit and installed it on my PCX. It definitely isn't as hot as OXFORD over-grip grip heaters that I have used in the past, but might me good enough depending on your environment.
