Does anyone know if the Hondaline Heated grip 4 position thermostat is available separately? I am just wondering if they are out there.

I had the same symptoms. Turns out, the left grip heater was the problem. Looks like it got so hot, it toasted itself. The ohm meter showed an open unless I gripped it just right. I cut the left grip open and the heating element was brittle and crispy. It only worked for a year. The lower settings worked but the higher settings always flashed. It must have been the stage 4 nuclear heat that I tried the one time when I burned my left hand.Mine are intermittent too. I just took the bike for a ride and they were working again but only in the lowest setting. I think the under-voltage cutout may be messing things up. What's weird is that yesterday the under-voltage cutout was not working as I could turn the grips all the way up and the lights would not flash as they do when you have an under-voltage situation.
I may have a loose connection somewhere...
Take a look at this sketch in the Articles Section for wiring Dual Star grip heaters to the OEM Honda heated grips controller.I am currently waiting for my Dual Star heat kit to arrive. They are supposed to work with the original Honda controller.
I was able to source a separate grip for "EAST" from Honda UK and post it out to him . I have a good contact in the company that maybe could help out.Does anyone know if the Hondaline Heated grip 4 position thermostat is available separately? I am just wondering if they are out there.
My Hondaline heated Grips quit working. Do you think these would fall under the Honda extended warranty? I installed them myself though...
It's not a blown fuse or anything like that. I think the "thermostat" went out... The four lights still light up but grips don't get warm..
Thanks for this. Thermo (and other individual parts) can also be purchased from Ling's in the UK for 104 pounds (make sure you get them to take the VAT off that if you are outside the EU) plus shipping.Part numbers:
08T50-MCS-80101 is the ST1300 electronic controller, €99 @ DSS, €71@ CMSNL.com (or try 08T50-13A-00003, which is €55 @ CMS and looks exactly like mine...but they could have switched pics, maybe)
08T50-13A-00001 (Right grip), €40.6 @ DSS, €60.5 @ CMS
08T50-13A-00002 (Left grip), €80.7 @ bike-parts.fr (not available at either DSS or CMS at the moment--no idea why not, but could indicate that it is actually NLA everywhere)
These prices all include VAT at approx. 20%, but non-EU orders should not be charged VAT (though shipping will, of course, be more expensive).
Ciao,
