Default Heated Grips

I purchased Heated Grips when purchasing my Trike and dealer Installed them, I paid for the grips, they installed them, no charge, on the work order they showed two hours labor. I read the instructions on line from what I remember the wires are fished threw handle bars, gas tank needs to be removed and wires hooked in fuse box, I think it needs special terminals. Hope this helps?

I had the dealer install them during service. He didn't charge me for labor, but he didn't snake the wires, he just mounted them to the bars on the bottom. Hardley notice them.

Thanks guys , I think if the dealer is going to put them outside of the bars I'll do it myself! I would rather have them inside , I think ! Ebert

Heated grips are nice, advantage is they're always there but as for warm hands you can't beat a pair of Gerbings heated gloves
Remove you hands front the grips and cold hands. With the gloves you have heat all the time and around your hands.
Gerbings heated clothing is the bomb!!!

Salty? Don't understand but OK
I was just trying to help. I've had heated grips before and now use Gerbings heated clothing. Just try to save the OP some
Money. But to each their own

Not to discount your post Casper , I appreciate your input ! By salty I meant expensive from my point of view. Beside being something that needs stored when not in use , being lost or damaged and another thing needing maintenance. Just don't think it would be good for me! But thanks again for the reply !

Sorry, but I'm with Casper on this one! Have several moto-buddies who have heated grips....either one works, one doesn't, both go out, or those without a fairing, they are totally useless. I would invest in a pair of heated gloves (whether Gerbing or other brand)....jmo.

If we spend close to 40,000.00 for the TG and accessories, heated clothing is a small price for almost year roound riding, unless you live in one the warm areas ( lucky rats)
