    I have the Honda factory fit heaters on my bike, the one with the 3 red lights when on full power. For some reason, when they are on, and say i press a brake, or indicate or main beam etc (basically anything else electrical) they flash? But i also realised last night, while they are flashing, they're not on, or at least i dont think they are, i only noticed because i was riding down a long dark road and so had my main beam on most of the time, and i'm sure, almost positive that they were not hot while the lights were flashing.

    Has anybody got these, and do they do the same? Any help would be appreciated

    Cheers

    The Honda system continuously monitors the output of the electical system and when the supplied voltage drops below the preset minimum voltage, the controller lights flash and the power is cut to the heaters. If these are flashing while you are riding, the controller is faulty or there is an issue with the voltage.

    I had those grips for a couple years and they worked flawlessly. I sold the whole kit w/helibars to a member here and I'm pretty sure he's still using them.
