Hey guys, I'm putting 12" bars on my 2012 Ultra Limited. I have heated grips. The rubber grips look pretty bad with gloss black bars. I really wanted to put the Harley Kahuna heated grips on. I can't justify spending $270 for grips. Would it be stupid to eliminate the heated option and just put on normal Kahuna grips? I live in Minnesota and I've never had heated grips before, so I'm kind of answering my own question. Just curious what others would do. Thanks in advance.
I have heated grips on my Ultra here in N.D. and wouldn't even consider getting rid of them!! mine are the thin sleeves under the grips so I can use any grip on the market and even switch grips without loosing my heat! one would think that they aren't as good but they are capable of getting hot enough that you can hardly hang onto them without gloves!!
My bike had heated grips when I bought it back in June . I took them off when I changed the bars and put good old fashioned HD grips on . On my last ride of the season , the decision was made to go heated again . I didn't like the flame style heated grips the bike had and now I know I should have shelled out the bucks for new ones . Even with a good pair of gauntlets , it's no fun riding when your hands hurt like hell .
Boardtracker has the heated kahunas cheaper than dealership pricing.
Why live with the regret?? Youve probably spent more $$$ on something a lot less important 10xs over. 1st time you ride in the cold and the hands go numb your gonna kick yourself in the *** for not spending the extra $$$ for the heated version
