Been running the HD heated grips since 09 - never had a problem!
A couple things I do is;
1. Run the power through the Acc. rocker switch, so I never have to touch the damn dial.
2. Leave the dial at half way, and wear light gloves if any, so it don't over heat.

That was my first choice - the heater is in the grip, not inside of the handlebar, so more heat goes to your hands. They work great even in 40 degrees.

The element adheres onto the TBW unit.
