It was to the better of my understanding that the heat shrink goes onto the bars to provide insulation (keeps the heat from transferring directly to the bars).
I am not sure about the tape provided, it may be to hold both ends of the adhesive heat-pad down and prevent it from coming undone when putting the grips on. Needless to say, the grips should not melt, even on the highest setting. I've had mine on all winter without issue. |

Thanks. Also, is there a connection point closer to the front of the bike that I can attach the leads to? Because the wires are way too short to reach the battery, should I extend them? Sorry for so many questions...

They don't get hot enough for my liking. It's a good thing I bought two, because I layered them and that allowed it to get hotter. Definitely usable now, but still not as hot as I'd like.
Poor wiring caused mine to short out, but that's totally my fault. The pads were fine, just the wiring got damaged. I'm going to redo the wiring soon. If you're super cheap and don't mind using a little finesse, I would recommend these. |

Amazon has what looks to be very similar model for $20 and the reviews seem great. May go that route rather than buying 2 ebay cheapos and keeping my fingers crossed. |
