These wraps go under your existing grips. Has anyone had any experience with them?
SPI Grip Heater Kit
SPI Grip Heater Kit
Looking at this kit I'm seeing a high wattage resistor which leads me to believe the that the Hi-Lo switch setting is done using that resistor. This means finding a home for this hot resistor and keeping it electrically isolated at the same time. This would mean you have to find and home for it on the bike that fits those constraints. Other types of grips use a solid state controller with out the need for a resistor.
Which ones would you recommend?
I want to keep my grip puppies though.
There have been times I'd like to have had them but most times I don't need them. I dunno..Google time?
Well yeah. Mr.-I live in Sunny California-Motogiro.
If I wouldn't live in a sucky a$$ New York City where there are actual winters I wouldn't need grip heaters either.
;p
did you ever consider using?
handguards + winter riding gloves
heated gloves wired or battery operated
I've installed handguards before with winter riding gloves and it works to a certain extent or at least depends on how cold do you actually go out riding. Only catch is, these gloves are thicker and may hinder dexterity.
Presently, I've installed Givi brand shield that has an extension on the side, this extension functions as built in handguards without the appearance of such. I rode this morning with this setup (49degrees) and my hands was just fine, the extension directed the wind away from my grips and hands.
I'm hoping to get some nice battery heated gloves, some brands can last 3+ hours and some has heat settings. You can always carry a spare battery if in case you run out of juice and best of all you can keep your grip puppies.

You made me spit my drink LOL! :rof:
Those are great alternatives! I wear my Kevlar gloves and they're usually sufficient for my cold mornings here. The guards would be a great addition for me,
