[QUOTE=kwkride;18717988]They seem to be a crap shoot. Here's the temp of my Kahuna heated grips this morning. I had them on "6" all the way to work (12 miles). It was 30 degrees on the way in.
In this pic I had been at work for a couple of minutes and the bike is still idling. I would recommend getting the plain black ones if you're going to buy Harley grips./QUOTE]
That's odd. I've rode with my Kahuna grips a number of times at temps right around freezing (before parked for winter) and normally didn't have to go above 2-3. Maybe you got a bad set?

A trick I figured out years ago from snowmobiles is to get good gloves with a thin palm with most of the insulation on the outside of the hand. This way the heat isn't "fighting" insulation to get to your hand.
Hope you get it figured out.

Before you put the right grip on the handle bar, pry the end cap off of it (be careful not to scratch or mark it up)... on the HD heated grips I've installed the end cap just snaps on.

It is very easy to remove. They just pry off. They are robust and you don't have to worry about breaking it, but be careful now to damage the finish. Take a small thin blade screw driver and easily push it in the gap between the gap and grip and it will pry right off.

I put the kahuna heated grips on last winter when I did my bars. 2-3 is the range I use as well, very happy with them. I used heated gloves before this, so much easier to just turn the **** than to fumble around with another set of wires. I don't think I will ever own a bike without them going forward. My bike was pre-wired, grips were plug and play.
