Hi

Got a set fitted to Charlottes GPZ500 and ZZR600. Work well. I have wired them up using a relay triggered from the rear brake light switch power feed.

Round town you have to turn them down as they get too hot for comfort.

All the best

I reckon muffs may be better as they keep the backs of your hands warm, while heated grips warm your palms.

Never used heated grips tho so I'm guessing.

Talk to Colin some more, I'm sure he's a rep for muffs.

[colin1]

funnily enough i was at quatt cafe (biker cafe) the other day and a bloke asked me about my muffs. He had come over cos he was curious about them.

I should carry some spares around with me as when we had finished chatting I think he wanted some.

Come to think of it, I could have just sold him mine and got some more.

He might not have had cash with him, but I could have asked.

Well if it happens again I'll know what to do.

I was right!

[colin1]

Its good to have a product you believe in.
I have sold some real rip off crap over the phone stuff I would never buy, but I could really believe in the product with muffs.

The jump from interested punter to getting them to part with their cash may be the tricky bit tho.

I can relate to that.

I work for a marketing company; the amount of cold calling I do is fairly disturbing.

To the companies credit, it's small, but we spend time researching businesses which could actually benefit from our services, send out a pack which costs anywhere between £1 and £3 a go, and then follow it up with a call. But cold calling is cold calling!

[Walloper]

I'm a big sissy and my handy pops get cold.
Heated grips are the 'Berries' and mean you can think about driving rather than your numb hands and fingers.

Advice:
Buy a good winter glove too though as the gloves thermal insulation will help keep the heat from the grips from dissipating into the breeze.

Hein Gerrike do a good glove. Mine have lasted two winters 100%water proof bla bla.

I hear for heated grips, you can actually get special gloves that have thick insulation on the backs of your hands, but thin insulation on the palms.

It's all irrelevant anyway; you want a warm core, not warm hands.

[colin1]
