Picking up the Road Glide Ultra on Saturday, just wonder who has had heated grips installed and what should i expect to pay for labor

 

Spend your money on some Lee Parks groves, or Harley heated gloves. Just my 2 cents.

Gloves heat the backs of your hands and fingers, the parts in the wind. I've had a pair Sedici Hot Wire Gloves for about 4 years now and love them. Ride in 20+ weather in the morning and rarely have them on high.

 

Heated grips for a street glide are one hour of labor by the book - not sure if its the same time for the road glides but I'm guessing it is

so for most of my local dealerships that'd be about $90

 

I agree with the others. Go for good heated gloves. Grips won't heat the back of your hand, which is really what takes the beating in the cold.

 

Well, you didn't ask for advice....

but as long as everyone else is voting I will too

I won't have one without the heated grips. With a good pair of gloves they'll keep my hands warm even on a road king or a softtail without a fairing. With a fairing the back of the hand thing isn't an issue for me - the fairing blocks most of the wind off the hands anyway.

Also, using heated grips you don't have to remember to grab your heated gloves, or to plug them in. The grips are also easier to adjust since the **** is right on the end of the left grip.

I've tried both the gloves and the grips and the grips are the way to go for me.

 

I like my heated grips also, they work well for me. I have had heated clothing in the past and don't care for the cords.

 

We do a lot of cold weather riding here in the Great White North. I've done without heated grips and suffered for decades. A pair is definitely going on next time I have the steering neck bearings done or the fairing has to come off. For a street glide I was quoted 3 hours unfortunately.

 

Have had both as well. I prefer heated grips. Installed a pair this winter..took about a hour.
