Thats made my mind up - ordering a set now...looks like the Alpine Stars Tech heated gloves the beloved bought my at xmas are going on ebay then!
Ah I see it now Swiss. They do look a bit more chunkier than standard though, how do they feel with gloves on?
fitted mine in the week and yes they are a bit chunkier but they feel fine with gloves on i used to own a truimph with factory fitted heated grips and these feel about the same. When i first got the blade the grips felt very skinny but i soon got used to them. i followed the original wiring round the headstock under the tank cover and made all connections under there, heat setting are great only dislike is that the red led light flashes when there on
Done lots of stuff in bikes before fitted quick shifter cans tailtidys etc. Never done grips though. How to they come off etc!??
if you wont to re use your old grips at a later date ie when you sell the bike remove the bar ends heat up grips with a hot air gun insert a flat blade screw driver between grip and bar run around bar to brake the glue and gently twist the rubbers of, rubbers removed all in one piece and can be used again if you need to
Mine are on! Tight fit !!All working ok and get reall hot overall i'm impressed. Little bulkier that normal but will only take a few rides to forget that they are! The only thing I don't like is the is having to cut the end of the grip off to make way for the bar ends. Most bikes now have bar ends so I can't understand why they make a set of grips where you have to slice the end off? Its a bugger trying to get them neat....
Mine do get quite hot but it takes more like 10 minutes. I used them this afternoon (rode back to work after lunch); quite impressed.
I've not ridden with them yet. But after fitting had the bike running to test and they were really hot after a couple of minutes but i guess it will feel different if your riding though. Only thing I don't like is the was you had to cut the ends off to fit the bar ends!
