Heated Grips
I know this is not the time of year to probably be asking, but I sure would like to know anyone's opinion and comments on their experience with heated grips. Like 'em, hate em, don't care, etc...

I put in the Heat Demons. They are installed inside the handlebars. Work very well. what I like about them is that they are concealed and you can use any handlebar grips you want. I had on one of my scoots the HD heated grips. Problem was that you are stuck with those grips whether you like them or not.

I have them on both my bikes but find they're worthless under 32 degrees. My bikes do not have fairings that cover the hands. The grips do not heat the back of your hands and it takes about 5 minutes for them to heat up.Temperatures below 32 degrees, I wear heated gloves. They can litterally burn the skin off the back of your hands without the temp control and more importantly, they heat up immediately.

I just put a set of the Heat Demons on, and I would say that it is one of the best things I have put on the bike...
Last year in the fall my hands were frozen on a ride, and this last weekend, between the heated vest and heated grips, I was very comfortable...
Very impressed with their quality, and customer service.

I put the Heat Demons in as well. They were working awesome but went to use them yesterday as it was cold as hell here and they wouldn`t come on. Probably something to do with the connection when I spliced in. Either way, I recommend them.

I use a set that goes inside the bars like the heat demons, but a bit more "low-tech". They're only around $50 shipped. I think they're a pretty small business. These are stand-up folks--very supportive of us military folks serving overseas, and the product is of great quality as well. I always recommend them to my friends. pollyheaters.com is the website.

Update from my last post. I love the H-D heated grips. I spoke too soon. I just now have to replace them. After 5 years, the price comes down to $44/ year. Well worth it. As some on HTT have said, there are other alternatives and cheaper, but I like the H-D's. Maybe if I was an electrician or knew what I was doing, I'd try a set of those cheaper grips.
You wont regret getting either one.
