Well after 14 years of daily commuting to and throw work i have done something i said i would never do and need to do. Gone and bought a set of heated grips for my RR. These 2 days have taken thier toe on me for some reason. ( i am still wearing shorts whilst working though but the ride to work is killing my fingers) So i bought some. None of your crap cheap wrap around ones. These are your real macoy. All new hand grips with adjustable thermostat. When these beauties get hot they get hot.

I knew the day of becoming old was near and today has been the day.

So to go with my Shrinking Shrivering willy i now own a pair of heated grips.


Just wanted an opportunity to say sorry to those of you who own these for all the "P" taking i have done over the years.

I to now know what its like to become old.

thought u had known that feeling for years

I'm still half your age sunshine. Even if you do, do that snow boarding stuff.

Awww Gramps you might have to sell that sports bike thingy and by a Harley !!!

Mind you I fit wraps in the winter not that the bike comes out much !


Age

I'm getting very tempted, it's only ever my hands that get cold so heated grips would make sense!

We fitted Kellys last weekend too, she even uses hers in the summer!!

Simon and Gav fitted new grips to my bike last weekend, I will never be without them as i'm to much of a wimp

Just fitted them to my quad

Nice and toasty on the way to work.

Ahh you poor bugger!

I had mine on at Pemrey

Is that near Pembrey ?

Done mine last month too, just hate the massive switch...gonna take it off as soon as i stop using the heat

I hate the feel of the grips, so have never used them, just bought winter gloves and if I really felt like a faggot I would of bought the windstopper under gloves

I'm using them on the CBR, very handy that

Well all fitted and they get damn hot.

Wired them through ignition incase i forget to turn them off. Glad to as i put them on for 10 secs earlier to make sure they worked without the engine running and they completely drained the battery

The bleedin switch with the temp adjuster on is big though as someone else mentioned and do agree about the grips being slightly larger does feel odd at first
