My dad has the HD ones on his street glide and loves them. I have also ridden with them and also love them. I like them better than wearing my heated gloves they just feel too bulky to me

If you plan on riding in cold weather, just invest in heated gloves/clothing.
I have a limited with heated grips. Last weekend I rode when the temps were in the low 30's, and wore my gerbing heated gloves/jacket. Heated grips will not keep your hands warm in cold weather while wearing thick gloves.

I have Harley's heated grips and I feel the heat thru my heavy gloves. What I 've found is when at idle I guess there's not enough juice to heat the grips, but if you keep the motor spinning over 2500 rpms for a while the grips get hot enough that I need to turn the thermostat down a bit.,,

But do some searching on this forum and you'll find lots of people have had them and they croak on you after a while. And since H-D warranty is something like 90 days on products not installed when you buy the bike, you're out the money.
I've heard of them doing that as well.

Same here -- On my Limited, the heated grips work well until the lower 30s; after that, my Gerbings (Jacket & gloves) get the nod. However, I love 'em the rest of the time -- they are true comfort. And, on the Limited, they come with a 2-year warranty.

I've got them and have had no issues with them for two years. I had them put on at the time of purchase so if they crap out like other have said they will be covered under my warranty. They keep your hands warm for sure.
