Despite being in South Carolina, it does feel a little cooler these days, so the existing heated grips on the 94 weren’t really working anymore, so I did a little bike rehab (on both the 94 and the 2000 actually). Both bikes have all of the following accessories:
Leaning to the left and plugging in the controller for the vest was a little bit of a pain, so I installed a Gerbing power port, so now all you have to do is reach with the left hand and plug in:
Then I installed the Koso grips for heat- I like the fact that there’s no need for a separate controller for these and it’s a thumb switch to turn them on and off and vary the heat:
I unfortunately ordered the 120 mm grips (too short) and the gap bothered me, so on the right, I placed a rubber grommet between the switch cluster and the grip and use my Go Cruise throttle lock, so it now has its own small recess (throttle is not bound and releases properly):
I installed my Zumo 396 as well while I had everything open for the other electrical upgrades...it’s a very nice piece and works well with my phone and BT earpieces (Plugfones Liberate):
Final thing: Amazon Syktik TPMS...works well so far (the only thing I can’t correct is getting max tire temp in degrees F):
I got myself one last thing and that’s a heated seat cushion from Dennis Kirk for $44:
Ready for winter riding!!!!!!
I took a ride today. Overcast with a little unexpected light rain from time to time, maybe upper 40’s temp wise. With winter gloves, the heated vest and heated grips, I was very comfortable. I think the seat pad will complete the package (not looking to get chaps at this time).
