Thread: Heated Grips for Less than $50

Started 1 year, 2 months ago by tom5796
Heated Grips for Less than $50 Even less if you already have Grip Puppies! Last week we had a couple of cool mornings so before it gets really cold I decided to install heated grips on the FZ. I could have gone the normal route and bought heated grips like Oxford but 1. I didn't want to spend $100+, 2. I like my grip puppies ...

Re: Heated Grips for Less than $50 Yeah, no doubt. It was a chilly commute this morning. I'm on the road by 5:30, and it was a whopping 30 degrees out when I got to work.

Re: Heated Grips for Less than $50 I can testify that those are excellent heaters. They work well even when stuck to the bars underneath the grips. There's one flaw I've found, easily corrected. The wires on the throttle side will flex each time you twist the throttle. Eventually they will break where they connect to the ...

Re: Heated Grips for Less than $50 I have had these on several bike and they work well. On other issue is the rocker switch shown is not waterproof. I have had several fail over the years. You may be better off with the standard toggle switch and the rubber boot.

Re: Heated Grips for Less than $50 Update! I took some of the advice from a couple of members and changed my setup a bit. First I locked down the wire position for the throttle element with some tape. Next, I repositioned the switch with some 2" aluminum that fit perfectly after some bending. Should help to keep from the ...

Re: Heated Grips for Less than $50 Very good job, like what you have done with the switch, and wiring, very clean...much better. I have Oxford Hot Grips, and yours looks way more discrete. __________________ 06 Orange/ Black fz6n - PCIII (cust. map),TB Ti's, ...

Re: Heated Grips for Less than $50 Agreed that it would probably do the same thing, though the switch is a lot bigger. Follow-up on the original post solution: they've been on the bike for over a year and about 7000 miles and are still working perfectly! Cold, cool, rain, no problems.

Right, but the original link was to a company that does not currently have them in stock. I'd rather pay $10 - $15 more to have something on my doorstep next week, as opposed to having to wait and wait and wait for someone else to get it to ship it...

anything wrong with these? ATV Motorcycle Grip Heater Warmer:eBay Motors (item 140351536070 end time Nov-09-09 16:03:59 PST) i'm guessing they're all the same thing. and these are even cheaper.
