    I had the Honda dealership put them on. They were doing a deal last Xmas. They are wired into the loom, not straight to the battery.

    Had a set fitted a few months ago, look neat , personally pleased with the heat output on a chilly run, but last week out in temp of 4' hands eventually got coldish despite having them on full power, but could have been more due that I suffer from Raynards in my fingers, would I fit them again on next bike, most certainly.

    They are top..... You'll become a heat junkie.....:D

    Mine are wired direct to the battery, switch themselves off if you forget.... I've never had them on 100% yet and I ride all year round.

    Haha! You say that but I suffer from poor circulation in my hands, which results in them getting very cold and numb very quickly. Which results in a lack of concentration. They're one of the best bits of kit I've bought :)

    I've been out on my other bike today - with heated grips - best invention ever.

    I saw this sign on the dash a few times (first time I have seen it - shows at temperatures 3C or less) :-
