I've had heated grips for a few years now. First, I started with Heat Demons inserts, and then moved up to Avon fully heated Custom Contour grips, which I have currently. With both setups, the throttle side was always hotter than the clutch side. I'm guessing due to the throttle sleeve insulating the end of the handlebar from the heating element. Today, I installed one of my old Heat Demon inserts, on the clutch side, and wired it together with the grip wiring so it is on the same control circuit. I turned the grips on, and waited a while for them to heat up, and I am happy to report that this little annoyance is now a thing of the past. Both grips heated to more or less the same temperature. I left them on until they hit around 160 F, and they now heat evenly. Since the one Heat Demon insert draws an extra 1.5 amps, I increased the 5 amp fuse I had on the circuit to 10 amps. The grips themselves draw around 3 - 4 amps, so I could probably get away with a 7.5 amp fuse, but I think the 10 will be fine.

The real test will come when I go for an extended ride, and especially next week, when the temps start to drop into the 40s.

Cheers!

 

I have (added) heated grips on my '18 Tri-Glide and they came standard on y '13 CVO Ultra.
I never had a difference between the LH & RH side grips but I could see how than could be annoying.

Back in '04 I bought a new Yamaha RX-1 snowmobile and the design engineers for some strange reason had the heated grips activate at every time the sled was started, warm or cold ambient temperatures.
Annoying but not really a problem to adjust and not enough to complain about since I practically used them at all time but I do know that on later models this was changed so I guess they got some some customer backlash.

FWIW, I also have heated gloves and I prefer them over the heated grips especially if I'm going to be riding for any length of time even though they are more of a hassle to hook up.

 

I have heated gloves as well. I like having the heated grips for those days where it starts out warm enough, but the temps drop later in the day. Also, when it's really cold, like near or below freezing, I set the grips on low, and use them with the gloves. The heating in the grips keeps them from being heat sinks drawing heat out of the gloves.

Cheers!

 

What gloves are you guys using?

 

Glad to hear you work out your situation.

 

I just roll the window down on the hotter side.

 

I have Gerbing GT5 gloves. They work very well, and can be used with both batteries (sold separately), and connected to the bike.

Cheers!

 

 

I have an older pair of heated H-D gloves and a pair of Gerbing "Hybrids" that have small 12v batteries tucked into the cuffs or hooked directly into my "on-bike" power jack.
The Gerbings work great on the bike but the mini cuff batteries aren't good for too long but on "medium" heat selection I can usually get 2-3 hours of of them which is good for the small amount of snow removal that I have to do.
