Anyone using heated grips?
Autumn is already here and winter is coming, anyone installed heated grips before??
I saw some ebay ones for $5-7 just for the heating elements under the original grips. There are also some already made heated grips that will replace the the original grips. I am fancying the below, it has variable heat adjustable (the switch looks very oem) http://www.ebay.com/itm/22mm-ATVs-Mo...item2a30a39eac Does it look like it will work for our ninja 250s? |

I use the Oxford heated grips, sport model, and they work great. They come as a complete kit, wiring, controller, and even grip adhesive.

No heated grips over here...I'm using heated gloves and jacket liner. Works great, extends the riding season.

I have HotGrips and have been using them for the past few weeks (low 40's in the am).
Last year I rode in temps in the low 20's with the heated grips and insulated motorcycle gloves and had no issues. I definitely recommend the HotGrips ones. I enjoy the thicker grips compared to stock, and they heat up quick and get HOT on full power. They're well made. I did not want to spend hours running the wiring, soldering connections, hiding wires, installing fuses/relays, etc. to install a piece of garbage $5 set of heaters that I wouldn't appreciate. If you're going to do it, do it the right way. I also got a factory looking slide switch to replace the cheap ass toggle switch. I've gotta remember to take a picture of it at some point. |
