Default RE: Heated grips

Had second set installed on wifes fatboy and they are junk also! Keep blowing fuses! I have checked all the wiring and can't find any area it is shorting out but I am an amateur. She really likes them when working but I haven't liked the idea from the start.
I will probably get her the heated gloves before we buy any new heated grips.

That is my experience in a nut shell!

Well I guess it is time to eat my words. The ol lady's grips stopped working. Just checked out the wiring and it is fine. So I guess back to the drawing board. Mine still work fine but for how long I dont know.

Wow! Quality problems galore. In the past I have used Hot 'Grips. Never had a problem and they worked on the ST1100 for 10 years. The person That bought the bike says they still work. The only problem/complaint is they are HARD. No squish and no give. Any other Brands out there that could be better?

Sure would like heated grips again.

Joe
