Recommendations for heated grips...

Anyone got any recommendations? I need something - it took nearly 20 mins to defrost my fingers when I got to work this morning ! Not looking forward to the ride home now either... I dont like the cold!

was looking at these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R-G-Heate...41?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2a23db8da9

heated gloves are much better

 

I've got the Oxford Sport ones on my Bandit, they work great!

 

Damn... just bought some winter gloves - which don't really do the job! Never thought of heated gloves...

Think I'll get the oxford ones... they easy to fit?

 

I'd recommend you pass over your man card, right away.

 

haha... you can have it! i don't like anything less than 22 degrees!

 

try silk gloves inside your bike gloves they help and are thin as well

 

What make do you use and what do you think of them Paul?

The Gering ones look pretty good but rather expensive......

 

Yes, very easy...just need to route some wires and job done.

 

the gering ones are great i have the jacket as well but you do need the heat controller or you get very toasty.
you also need to try them on as both jacket and gloves are a size smaller than normal and you need them to fit snug

 

Just be aware that if you wear great big thick winter gloves, you won't feel too much warmth from the heated grips (well not straight away anyway). The ideal gloves would be a little thinner on the palms and nice and insulated on the back! Like Ducky, I had the Oxford ones on my previous bike and they worked really well.

 

If you do buy heated grips. Please, please, please, wire them up through a relay to a switched live

 

I just connected mine up to a switched live in the fusebox. lol

 

Mine have been hooked up to the battery for the last year... please tell me that's not a bad thing?

 

Only if you forget to turn them off
If they're on a switched circuit they go off with the ignition.

 

Cheers Paul

I have the Keis Heated Gloves!!!

One of the best purchases I have ever made. 3 heat settings, controlled by a button on the glove, Hot, Warm and Tepid. Easy to fit.

Waterproof is the only thing I would question....they are supposed to be and, under light rain are OK, but I once came back from Newcastle in a solid 5 hour downpour and I was soaked thru by the time I got home....but my hands were still warm! lol

They also make a heated inner....if you prefer
