Default Heated grips installed

I love the heated grips I had installed. They make riding much better with warm hands....was it work the 400 plus...I think so...but now that I am getting older...I like conveniences and when I can afford them I take them...

Mine came on the bike, love them! Got Gerbings Heated Gloves as well, but never wear them because they're too bulky.

My current ride (14 Limited) came with the heated grips. I never had them before. HOLY CRAP I LOVE THEM!!!

Yup, getting older and enjoying the conveniences of technology.

Had a pair installed on my 15Glide and they are definitely worth the $$$.

Had a bunch of bikes before and never thought I needed em but now I probably won't buy a bike without em!!!

I installed mine on my 14 RK (had a set on my 11 limited. Love them. The instructions were a cobbled bunch of cut and past from past years and took me a week to figure them out. Can probably do it now in about 2 hours.

My '14 limited came with them. Never had them before either, so at first i never used them cause i thought i was tough and didn't need it. Finally broke down last year coming home from a toy run and the temp was 35 degrees and it was dark. Dang i was cold.... turned them on.......what was I thinking not using them before. Very nice!!! you'll love them.

I started riding in March, '69, and when I was younger I didn't know any better!
I got my '13 CVO Ultra in late-September, '12 and it has the heated grips and the heated seats!
In addition to this, I have heated gloves, jacket liner, and of course, as FF modular helmet w/speakers installed.


All that I can say is, I can't believe that I rode so long without heated gear and I may be a dork or a wimp, but I ain't cold no more!!!


Seriously, the grips and the seat work well for those late evening or early morning "cool" rides, but for longer or colder temps I'd recommend more heated gear. You won't regret it.

Have 'em on my '09 Ultra and love it so much. Never wear gloves ever. No regrets. Now, I read Heated Seats...OMG, I'll have to look into them too, LOL.
