Default large diameter heated grips
Talked to the dealer, HD no longer sells a large diameter heated grip.
No luck with an internet search.
Anyone aware of a manufacturer?
thanks
brian

I'm in the same boat. Heard that the leather over wraps/sleaves can work to attain this goal. Post up if you figure out other options please

Beat me to it.

I made my own leather covers, and put them over my heated grips. Works very well...

Great idea. Those look really nice. I just started an apprenticeship making ceremonial drums and have access to the tools needed to make my own too. Thanks for connecting the dots, because I had a mental block till now on that note!

What about using heat demons that go inside the bars?

Do you find you they slip? I considered the wraps, but I was wary of them slipping or becoming slippery in the rain
