Can you replace heated grips with something cooler
#11
On my old RK, I went to the Polaris dealer and bought some inserts that they use on snowmobiles. I think they were about 39.95, but they only have a high and a low setting. They worked fine for me for about 8 yrs.
I believe the brand was Polly heaters, I just wired them into my acc. switch.

My understanding is that you buy replacement Heated Grips (with wiring) that will replace stock grips and wiring from the old grips. You need to buy the complete assembly.
Kuryakyn makes this for Goldwing grips. It's a clamshell that fits over the existing grip. I don't think they make anything for harley. It would be nice if they did. It is an expensive, PIA I would think to change over the grips.

I know we would have to buy a complete HD heated grip kit (with wiring) if we want to change from our stock grips. I don't mind buying a kit that comes with all the wiring, I just don't want to have to change the wiring. It would be great if the heated grips unplugged from the wiring at the grip end of the wiring harness. Does anyone know if this is possible?

The wiring harness is attached to one of the grips, it plugs into the other... So technically no you would have to rewire them. But, you probably (I haven't tried) could cut the harness and splice the new ones in, if you do that I'm pretty sure they won't warranty them and I have seen quite a few fail.
I'm thinking bout trying a set of heat demons, but honestly thing the gerbing heated liners would do better than a heated grip. And if you have more than one scoot you can easily have your gloves with you on any without a complete reinvestment.
On really cold days palms of the hands are warm, and the tops are cold.
