Default Shopping for some heated grips

Looking to add some heated grips onto my '13 RGU.

Anyone have any recommendations? I'll go OEM or aftermarket....just looking for something reliable.

Thanks

The plain Jane stock grips are the best and there plug and play for the right side with a little wiring to do on the left. Simple and easy.
Ask around on the site, I picked up a pair of take-offs from a guy in Florida that will never use them for $80 bucks.

Heat demons are the way to go.

Best of both worlds would be heated grips and heated gloves, especially for riding in temps below 50 degrees, and also for long periods of time.

I also use hand wind deflectors that are good for deflecting rain.

Had the dealer install mine on my 2017 RGU with a 25% off promo. They work awesome!

Thanks, I'll take a look at the OEM options first.

Last winter, went on a multi-day ride, was in the 30's for an extended period of time. I will not do it again without heated gear (at least gloves) and heated grips. It became a safety issue at one point.

Are your grips always hot, or are they switched? If switched I'd love to know where they wired them to.

I had the dealer install the HD factory heated grips on my '16 RGU, they work great. Fully adjustable via a **** on the end of the left grip from off to max, and at max they put out a lot of heat. Only had them a few months and only ridden in coldest temps in the upper 40's, but so far so good.
