was bout to say you are an expert lol

 

heated grips are pretty nice lol

 

One thing I gladly wish I could say I knew nothing about from a personal point

Never even seen a bike with them

 

Theyre tech 7s. The foot will still take the injury

 

Already had it.....don't want it

 

I had em on the BMW, used em maybe 5 times. Thanks San Diego.

The Ducati came with the button and setup for it, but I would need to install aftermarket/accessory ones to have the functionality. Engine heat is doing just fine for now lol

 

I have a feeling that for my part of the country....the gloves will be fine. I honestly only bought them b/c I can't pass up a cheap deal most times

 

Checked tire pressure and it is holding.

 

I wonder if the Warp9 wheels I bought could be done that way

 

I dont want you to either, ha. They are just stupid flexible which is why they are comfy. You can bend the toe box over 90°

Put smiley stickers over the nipples if you do. Itll keep sealant out of them

 

I sent them an email on June 4th. They said the wheel was still 2-3 weeks out. The front wheel shipped within a few days

 

I can not recommend doing anything I do. It’s all at your own risk.

 

I signed a release of liability the day I joined the forum

 

With enough glue and duct tape anything is possible!

 

I went and installed heated handled grips on, tried on some gloves but felt bulky. Have to tell me how you like them.

 

Heated grips are rad. 10/10 better than heated gloves.

 

I always installed heated grips on my bikes unless they came with them. I also always wired in a plug for my heated jacket liner. On long tours and big mile days it was great to be able to dial in the amount of heat you wanted and adjust it on the fly.

 

Yes. If for no other reason than the fact that you can't forget your heated grips at home and regret it an hour into your ride.

 

I have to disagree. The cold air is hitting the outside, exposed part of my hands not my palms. I ride down to cold enough temps where that can be a serious issue for me. Perhaps if your bike has some form of handguards that block some of that wind then heated grips may be of more use.

Both of my current FJR1300s have heated grips and I rarely use them. The riders that I know that do use them tend to be those folks living in warmer climates where a 45-50 degree day is downright cold to them.

 

I'm in a colder climate, but I am definitely not riding out below 50° if I can help it. I don't have a bunch of layers and my only riding jacket is a mesh one. I'm over the cold. I've lived in it for 40 of my 41 years and I am ok huddling up inside when it sucks outside.
