Heated Grips

[GordonFreeman]

Are you happy with them and where did you buy? Thanks.

KTM Factory type on mine and I love em. Great on a cold day. No complaints

I've had a few different kinds, BMW factory, Kimpex, and the lastest which are Dual Stars. The Dual Stars so far have been a let down. Every other grip I've had got much hotter.

I bought mine from kurt at blackdog and they suck . The right one gets hot but the left one barely gets hot. I even tried insalating it but no go just barely warm. I talked to Kurt from blackdog at the KTM rally in lake tahoe he said their was a bad batch but he didnt offer a refund. So I guess I will try another brand.

I've installed the KTM part which is probably OEM'ed from somebody else. The "start" setting works well. Both grips are powered in parallel. The "on" setting, both grips powered in serial, is not really warm but just takes the cold out of it. I'm thinking about adding a switch from Symtec: http://www.symtec-inc.com/Internal-H...etric_p_7.html

I've seen it offered separately for $89 somewhere. It provides 4 settings rather than the factory 2.

Those are the ones I have. See my reply above yours.

Bought a few of the Symtec ones with the rocker switch from California Sport Touring for various bikes. No issues here.

I have the Symtec kit with rocker switch from MotorcycleGear.com. No complaints.

Got my bike with KTM (part 60112064144) grips and working great. These have a four level power controller, with dim indicator lights. Long press turns heater on/off and short cycles between levels. I've only couple of weeks experience, but temperatures have been close to freezing and I usually keep them on the second level. Highest level melts my gloves..

Looks great.
I wonder if we can install the new 4 level controller in our old Daytona grips, the ones with the 2 level switch, where position 1 means melt and position 2 does nothing...

Hot Grips are the best! http://www.hotgrips.com
I have them on all my motorcycles, ATVs, and snowmobiles.
Be sure to add Warm N' Safe's Heat-Troller, in either the sub-surface or surface mount variety, and you'll have grips that can go from barely warm to "melt your gloves hot" in just a few seconds. http://www.warmnsafe.com/index.php?m...cPath=65_71_81

Yeah that looks like a great setup over the US version.

May need to order from the UK.

When I made an order for the bike, I thought I'd get the "old" version - was pleasantly surprised. Suppose they are changing it and depending of the store, you might get new or old, as they are under same number. Googling the number gives different results within various vendors.
