Heated Handlebar Grips!!!

ScorpionNinja · April 26th, 2010, 01:00 PM

Will these work on our bikes w/o mods to the bikes electrical system?

Us in Michigan could use these!

It wires to the battery, but would the 250 have enuff Power to use these while riding and with your Headlights -Also Highbeams on-? If you have HID headlights (35w) would it be enuff power saved Vs the stock headlights, to install this w/o having to totally mod the bikes electronics?

Just an aside, I rode a BMW with heated grips on a cold day this past weekend and they now haunt my dreams. What an exquisite pleasure they are! I was wearing summer gloves and my hands were toasty!

Next to the 15 tooth countershaft sprocket, headed grips are the nicest feature I added to my bike. I ride with Lee Parks gloves year round and have yet to feel cold on my 30 minute commute, no matter what the weather. Best $35 I ever spent. The drain from the heaters is a non issue unless you like to sit for hours in the garage with the engine not running and the grip heaters turned on. Be sure to wire the grips to a switched power source or you will forget and run the battery down by leaving them on. I installed the Symtec heaters so I could run the grip of my choice. I'm assuming the grips under discussion draw aprox the same wattage. I use my heaters all the time on cool mornings and just after the sun goes down even in the summer.

Cool thanks Sam!

If you didnt read the link i had in OP, the heated grips are 48 watts.

Last Oct. when i went to the BMW event, i was able to Demo ride a GS650, and boy oh boy did i dig the factory stock Heated grips on that!
They cooked my hands towards the end of the demo ride. I had to turn em down to low setting!

Sweet then I will be getting some heated grips for my bike later this year, afew weeks b4 the cold Michigan weather starts setting in!

Next thing ill have to add, is a 12V Cig lighter, to plug in my Cell phone to charge up in case my phone dies while on a trip, or if i can save up to get a GPS unit!
