Grips work good down to 30 degrees below that you need heated gloves.
I don't do any riding below 30 degrees. Partly because it rarely gets that cold down here, the other part is that I wouldn't want to. LOL Over the years I've managed with wearing good gloves and wearing latex gloves underneath in the high 30's to low 40's. If I do anything I'd probably go with heated gloves. 20's, brrrrr...no thanks. lol

Thanks guys. I really like how the heat demons look like they belong...what do the harley ones look like? And hows installation? I'd be doing it myself.

Leaning towards heat demons after finding a lot of good reviews and cost 150.

I put my HD grips on my Heritage and it took me close to 4 hours. The tank had to be lifted to run the wiring to the battery and the fuse box. The wire from the right grip goes thru the bar to the left grip its a fairly involved job.

I think you look on HD website you can find all the grips you need. fwtw I think mine are called chrome and rubber and they have a lg and a sm size. I got the lg and they look good I think anyway. good luck

I have Heat Demons as well and like them. I do wear gloves, but the Heat Demons work well with them. I usually ride down to freezing so, and they've done a good job of keeping my hand from totally freezing.

My HD heated grips on my 2009 have broken for the second time (left side both times). Now that they're no longer under warranty I'll be going with the Heat Demons.
