Default I’ve had it. 😠

Went for a ride yesterday, a little cool so I turn on the heated grips. The warmed up nicely and then. Unbelievably. The right grip was at least a 1/2 degree warmer than the left. That’s it! I’ve had it. Spend that kinda money on a CVO and they can’t even balance the grip temperature. Screw it. I’m buying a BMW.

That was sarcasm, in case you didn’t get that lol
hehe

Agreed. Could be one, if there is I don’t know it.

My experience is the CVO heated grips are not as warm as the basic Limited grips. I have had both the airflow and now the Kahuna. With 12 inch bars above the fairing I expect to be using heated gloves more this winter.
