What is the total power consumption of this thing? 36 watts?
I don't know precisely what the draw is, but I do know that while sitting at a stoplight (brake lights on) at idle (with all my Fuel Injection system electrical draws operating: fuel pump, ECU, sensors) and the HotGrips on "high" my voltmeter sits at 13.1 or 13.2

Once the RPMs come up the voltmeter sits at 13.8 or 13.9

And about how much thicker are they than the stock grips?
I'm an average sized guy with average sized hands and the HotGrips feel better in my hand than the OEM grips did.

Do you notice one side being warmer than the other side?
Yeah, there is an imbalance. That's just part of the deal with the left side being mounted to metal while the right side is on the throttle sleeve. It's not a bad thing, but you do notice it.
