OEM Honda heated grips

O M G is it just mine or do the dam things get dam dam dam hot...

Just fitted them and took the bike for a run and thought my leather dainese gloves my hands where so warm, all i can say it thank god you can turn them down....

Anybody else got them.

 

Where did you get them and you have any pictures of the control unit? Don't think they sell them over here.


Thanks

 

aye asked and was pointed towards the snowmobile section...apperently there cheeper but do the same job better.

 

Bet they don't have snow mobile sections over in Ireland.:wedgie:

 

and im glad of that, its bad enof with the dam rain lol

anyhow hears the pics with my own made grip bracket, not sure of what else to take pic of as ive had the front off my bike and all the wires very neatly sorted...

 

I suppose I shall have to learn to ride in the rain when I move to Ireland.

 

Its so wet in Ireland that the rain runs up hill lol How every you havnt been out on a night untill you have been out in Ireland.....

 

Drewl,

Are you yet another one of those pansies who is afraid of a little rain? Worse case scenerio is it will make your belly shrink!

 

I will ride in any temperature as long as the rode is dry. But, like I said...I shall have to learn.

The Emerald Isle calls to me. Some day I shall make it my home.

 

I love it over there i have yet to ride in Ireland, but i was there alot when i lived in england its beautiful countryside

 

I got'em sourced from japan...you should have gotten the controller mount too, it makes the install a lot cleaner. did you get the wiring harness plug and play splices too? got mine for $135.00 or something like that.....jasonsmith has a set too......:wink: you can check out my install pics in my gallery, if you want to.

 

One of my fav mods for sure thanks buddy ^^. You also get a low voltage indicator with it via the bottom flashy light. Don't wanna see that while at rpm.

 

I see that low voltage indicator light flashy thing when you try and turn them on with the bike not started but other than that they are dam hot lol.....

As for the rain its ok when it just rains but when it rains that hard that the wind doesnt even clear of you visor then it start to become dangerous..... and silly.

 

We get some pretty hard rain here in the Lower Mainland of BC as well. And lots of it. We have a product here called Rainex that if you apply to your visor every month or so, does a pretty good job of making the rain bead off. I am sure you have a similar product there. Tha's if you care to ride int he rain. I have to, otherwise it costs me about $1200.00 a month to commute to work.

 

Says thats the controller mount is an extra in my instuctions, got the wiring harness but soldered the wires.

DO U NOT LIKE MY BRACKET TOOK ME HALF A HOUR TO MAKE IT......... I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD MYSELF.

 

Marc: at first I thought they were hot, but when you turn them down to one L.E.D. instead of all three when they start, they aren't nearly so hot... especially with leather gloves on. When it is colder, the heat will help your blood circulate and your hand will be comfortable. I think your mount looks great on your bike. I like the factory supplied one on mine.
