I know this is an older thread, but how is the heating on yours? I just installed these and at level 6 after 20 miles of riding I could not feel any warmth through a thin glove. These replaced the stock heated grips that a setting of 3 was too hot. Need to decide if I warranty replace them or not. Labor won't be free

Well I ordered mine yesterday. A couple of online sources had them listed at $229.00. I went to my local dealer and showed them the adds on my phone. They sold me the chrome ones out the door for $244 with tax. I try to support them if at all possible. Of course they keep black in stock, but had to order my chrome ones.

My new 12 inch Yaffe’s will be here tomorrow from Revzilla.

Something is definitely wrong with them. I love mine and I don't think I've ever turned them up over the 4 setting.

When I bought my 19 CVO Road glide, before I took delivery I had Yaffe 14" bars and black Kahuna heated grips installed. Very comfortable in my opinion. They work well, very well. Never had them over 3 and been out in 29 degree weather.

I just had mine delivered the other day from Utah Harley. Do these get hot enough to keep the top of your hands warm when the wind is blasting them?

I have these on my 2019 cvo sg and for me, no they do not. The grips on my 2015 BMW get hotter than these and they also do not keep the top of my hands warm, the beamers get hot enough to damn near burn my palms though.
