Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / November 2006VStar 1100 - anyone have heated grips?
32 out today when I road in to work... Hands were the only thing that was cold. 2 pair of gloves were just not enough on the freeway. Anyone put on heated grips? I was wondering if the output of the alternator would be sufficient.... I usually ride with my bright light on - but wouldn't if I put on the heated grips ... or could I?? Anyone have any experience doing this?? was it hard to do?? > 32 out today when I road in to work... > Hands were the only thing that was cold.

It was the best investment I have ever made on a motorcycle. I ride with my brights on during the day and an electric vest during cold weather. No problem. Ride safe.

I have heated grips on a single cyl 650 dual purpose motorcycle also check http://www.gerbing.com/heat/glovesprod.html for full heated gloves |
