If you are looking for softer grips try Pro Grip 714's. They say they are a vibration absorbing gel and I think they feel almost like silicon. And they grip great, even when wet. And only about $14.This is the main reason that I am looking at the Heat Demons- so I can put more comfortable BMW grips on. I find all of the aftermarket heated grips are rock hard and I see no reason why they need to be. I had a set of Hot Grips on a previous ST1100. They worked really well and got really hot really fast. The problem was they were rock hard to the point my hands hurt after long hours whereas they never did with the Honda OEM grips. I do wear gloves all the time. Why can't they make them with more comfortable grips?
No I haven't. I have no doubt that they are comfortable but there is no reason why the heated grips can't be less hard.Have you tried Grip Puppies?
Even after blowing the picture up I can't make out any numbers. Based on the switch it is a Symtec P/N 210019MT. I was just wondering if there was a P/N change as I saw claimed on some vendor sites.Here's what I got from Amazon -
Thanks for the link. At that price they are cheaper than the BMW grips.try Pro Grip 714's
That's the part number under the bar code.Even after blowing the picture up I can't make out any numbers. Based on the switch it is a Symtec P/N 210019MT. I was just wondering if there was a P/N change as I saw claimed on some vendor sites.
Except that they aren't. BMW "heated handles" aren't hard on the hands, but they are hard on the wallet. The hot tip (pun) for me is Symtec panels under Magura grips (spec'ed for a /5 era BMW) with Grip Puppies (or Grab-on covers) on top. Comfortable, grippy, cheap, and the heat comes through just fine....there is no reason why the heated grips can't be less hard.
That's what I use. Works great.I already have a set of BMW grips so they will be going on over the Symtec elements.
You'll find the heated gloves will be doing the opposite. Your knuckles are warm, your palms are cold. There is no heating element or even much insulation in the palms of electrified bike gloves.This means, I might have a warm or even hot palm but the tops of my fingers and hands got really cold and stiff. If I wore gloves that had a thick outer layer, then the palms were also insulated from the heated grips and I couldn't feel the controls or grips.
Some gloves are made for heated grips where only the back side is insulated but not the palm. Held Warm n Dry along with the Revit Fusion for examples. There are others.You'll find the heated gloves will be doing the opposite. Your knuckles are warm, your palms are cold.

Heated grips are great for cool weather riding, but you need both for cold weather riding.
A nice feature is being able to wire them directly to the battery if you want. They're turned Off at the switch but they'll shut Off if you forget to shut them down when the battery gets low. Obviously they can be used with a relay as with most other grips.I'm thinking of getting the Coso Apollos.
Set ohm meter to lower scale. Will be measuring in single digits.ohm meter show little to no resistance if bridged between any combination of the wires...
Well you could reverse it, if it's wired like I think.wow reds is grnd
who'd a thunk it
any idea if my guess
white is common
red is high
blue is low? -
