I've never worked on a bike before.

I have run the cheap heating elements with hi and lo - high is always too high, and lo is always too low I do find myself liking the 4 settings that the Oxfords offer.

I run Oxford Heaterz on all my bikes now, that and some moderately insulated gloves takes care of my hands during our winters. I ride down into the low 30's/ upper 20's with this set up.

These are the ones I run: http://lockitt.com/AccessoriesGrips3.htm#oxhg Easy install - probably 3/10 in difficulty. Hardest part is rigging up to switched power and maybe doing some light sanding on throttle tube/handlebar, to get the new grips to slide on.

YMMV
