tried these heated grips?
hey anyone out there tried these heated grips? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Mo...e4fd74&vxp=mtr
theyre the kind that go under your grips, kinda like a heated wire underneath the grip, but that does not sound safe at all lol. i am wondering how well they work? how cold are you comfortable with them? thanks guys if i missed the thread with this im sorry, i looked i promise |

They worked great for me! I actually bought a used throttle tube (with grip) off eBay for 5 dollars or so and put it on the left side with some DURO spray adhesive so that they would heat evenly.
Other heated grips like that have the left side with more coils (to provide more heat) but I preferred my method. |

The right side will heat up more because it wraps around the plastic tube of the throttle control. On the left side, it is wrapped around the metal handlebar. This causes heat to be transfered into the handlebar instead of into your hand. To fix this, try insulating the metal bar with something before wrapping the heat pad on it. In my opinion, they do not get as hot as I would like, but they get the job done. That is, I am able to ride for an hour while it's snowing and I can still feel my hands. One time, I completely lost feeling in my hands. These grips will prevent that (unless you're riding in like... -15C or less), but it might not be as comfortable as you may like. Nevertheless, I am happy with the purchase.

Just be sure to lower your expectations.
