symtec heated grips

£37 from winding roads

these look simple but are quite feature packed for the money.
they are heater filaments sandwiched on a mylar film (like photographic film) with an adhesive back, and you stick them straight onto the bars (its an instant glue, get it right 1st time!) and put the grip of your choice over the top.
this means they dont have that chunky grip feel.
the clutch and throttle mats are different, to allow for the insulating of the throttle tube and in use they are both the same temperature and warm up at the same rate.
if wired as per the instructions the kit contains everything you need and its a simple job but i would recommend you use a switched relay or a feed from a switched live like the headlights or something. so you dont leave them on and flatten the battery!
when ordering, you can choose between the panel mounted rocker switch or the bar mounted toggle switch, in my members gallery is a pic of the former, a very neat switch.

low is nice and warm, high is toasty but not too hot to hold like some grips.
