It gets a little chilly this time of year up here in Vancouver but that is no excuse to park my ride. I've been comtemplating changing my grips to heated. A friend was checking this out at the local HD dealership and was told that they were a waste of time and money. They don't do the trick and that heated gloves were a far better solution. I have seen the gloves and they are bulky and I don't like the appearance. Grips are $285. and gloves $260 (cdn). Anyone have tried out either....thoughts.....

try heat deamonds just got them and love them thay heat the bars so you can use any grip. some grips work better than others so do some homework. heated grips nothing but trouble. heated gloves. never tried them.

 

Not had them myself but have heard and read about HD's heated grips don't last,some have fitted kits from snowmobiles ?.. Gloves are the best option I would have thought and thats where I'm heading..
Heated grips only warm your palms wheras gloves keep your whole hand warm.
Best in class are I think Gerbings http://gerbing.com/Products/gloves.html

I think they even make heated gloves for HD but go to Gerbings and pay less.

 

i heard heated grips were nice and they are used with heated gloves. the gloves heat the back of your hand and any airspace on the front. the grips heat the palm and bottom of the fingers. i use heated liners and then cheap oversize gloves. if wet and rain i wear dish washing gloves over the liners. stay warm and dry

 

Its the back of my hands that get cold So I bought the heated gloves they work great. I don't see how heated grips would solve the problem. They are bulky though.

 

That price on the gloves won't include the temp controller. That's probably another $100. It seems that my Gerbing heated gloves aren't as bulky as my wife's HD gloves. It may just be the model though.

I tried heat demons first, and when they did work, they weren't nearly as good as the gloves are. I have to say that the problems I had with Heat Demons were more my own doing than theirs. If you install them yourself, make sure you don't crimp the wires.

 

I love my heat deamon grips! Never tried the gloves.

 

Heated gloves, Heated liner is the way I go
