Hello,
I would like to share about my cheap grip heaters project. I took 15W 12V 2pcs skinny bulbs (you can find them for example in IKEA) wrapped in fireproof material and installed inside of tube(grips) Drilled small holes for wires in the middle of steering bar, installed relay and switch on the left side of fairing. Relay is placed inside of fairing. Bulbs connected to battery trough the relay.
Bike passing light controls relay, which protects you from accidental drainage of battery. And I have disconnect switch if I do not want heaters on.
I often happy that I have done this mod. I use that for 6 month and bulbs even survived wheelies and one slide.
If somebody interested I might put some pictures, but not much to see.
I just wanted to share about idea if you do not want to pay to much for heating grips.
I had all parts in garage so I did not spend any money but its not expensive project.
Best regards from Comox Valley
