Anyone ever use Bike Master Heated Grips? They are currently $40 on Amazon. They look very similar to the Oxfords for less money.
I like those! OOS at the moment. How warm to they get? I'm really fond of the BMW Sport grips as the palm swell fits my hand nicely and they have some give to them unlike factory grips.I installed the Koso Apollo heated grips and really like the clean install with the switch integrated into grip. They are more expensive than others but having the switch integrated was worth the extra $$ to me.
Oxfords with Grip Puppies gave me plenty of heat on my Wee.I like those! OOS at the moment. How warm to they get? I'm really fond of the BMW Sport grips as the palm swell fits my hand nicely and they have some give to them unlike factory grips.
The Kosos look like they could use some padding like Grab-On Grip Covers and I'd what to build a palm swell with some foam. Do they get hot enough to get heat through something like that. Full disclosure I won't ever be riding in ≤40º if I can help it.
Yep that is correct.I'm thinking that when you turn the key on again, controller is off, just touch power button and controller returns to previous setting.
I have the Koso heated grips on my '04 along with grip puppies. Takes a little longer to feel the heat but keeps my hands toasty. They are currently available on Amazon as well as Dennis Kirk.I like those! OOS at the moment. How warm to they get?

Thanks for the tip on denniskirk.com. I get their emails almost once a week but didn't think of them for the Kosos. I had already checked Amazon but they were full pop and I was hoping to save a buck or two for the Next Farkle kitty.pumper316 said:They are currently available on Amazon as well as Dennis Kirk.
I run them with grip puppies and have only run them on highest setting when it was 30 and still got plenty of heat. Most of the time I get plenty of heat in the mid range setting. They are a little larger outside diameter than stock grips. The inside diameter is tad bit small and rigid making installation challenging. I got them on using some tire mount lube and once on they have been secure.I like those! OOS at the moment. How warm to they get?

Thanks for the info. I used hairspray to slide my BMW grips on the bars. They may have had more 'give' to them not having heater grids embedded. But they haven't slipped a bit. I'll try the same with the Kosos.I run them with grip puppies and have only run them on highest setting when it was 30 and still got plenty of heat.

I got my Koso Apollo grips yesterday and will install them in a week or so. How did you wire them up?I installed the Koso grips on my bike using golf grip tape I bought from one of the local sporting stores.
Connected to a fuse block with a 10A fuse. Hid the left and right connectors underneath the gas tank.I got my Koso Apollo grips yesterday and will install them in a week or so. How did you wire them up?

Wire them to a switched circuit- less worry. I would never trust such things to not drain my battery.But since my ST is kept on a Battery Tender the grips would stay on.
