Saw these on ebay which look quite handy, would appreciate the more knowledgable folk here telling me if there any good or not.

Thanks.

I have them.

Thumbs Up They get nice and hot.
Thumbs Up Easy to install and wire in, easy to take off too.
Thumbs Up Simple so not much to go wrong, have been fine for me for about a year.
Thumbs Up Work REALLY well with bar muffs in this weather.
Thumbs Up They make the bars thicker, which I personally prefer, but you may not.
Thumbs Up Current draw is pretty low, even my puny YBR125 can power them without any problems.

Thumbs Down No thermostat so they get hotter and hotter, and I find I need to switch them off during the ride sometimes.
Thumbs Down They have a LOT of wiring, which is hard to tidy up, but you can cut/shorten it (which voids the guarantee).

Yeah I've got a set. I get bored of bikes and change on a whim so wanted a portable solution. Easy to install, cable ties for the wiring. Well pleased with them. As mentioned they do make the bar ends noticeably thicker, not an issue just feels weird at first.
