Well I got to try these bad boys out the last 2 days, and all I can say is.. WOW greatest invention ever!!![sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]
First tried them out yesterday (sunday), went riding with a few buddies up into the mountains. Cold, you ask? Well lets just put it this way.... the highest temp we saw on the temp gauge of my buddies K1200 Beemer was 39 degrees BEFORE we headed up into the mountains. By the time we got to our destination, we were getting snow flurries, and the picnic tables sitting out front of the place were covered in ICE (I forgot to look at the exact temp there). So yea, it was a lil chilly. My hands stayed nice and warm though! Every one in awile my left pinky finger got a lil cold, but that was about it. Even with my insulated leather winter gloves, sometimes especially at slower speeds or stoplights, they get so hot you almost can't hold onto the clipons (with the gloves on). If you take the gloves off and grab them with your bare hands, it hurts. My other buddy on the SV1000 didn't have any heated stuff, and he was a popsicle when we stopped, so he came over and warmed his hands up on my grips. He was in love, and said "I HAVE to get some of these!!" LOL
Rode to work this morning.... 32 miles one way, and when I left at 7am this morning with the wind chill factored in, it was 18 degrees. Once again... toasty warm hands!
Grip heaters FTW!! Best $30 bux I've spent in a long time!

I don't think my bike would even start in 18 degree weather, you are really nuts.
And to have riding buddies in that cold of weather....
damn you must live in crazytown.
Sounds like the grips worked out well I would be interested in putting some on my bike for when it get below 50 degrees......hahaha my hands are freezing then.
