Santa brought me a set of these...reviews I've read are mixed. Anyone here try them? I doubt they are as good as the Oxfords, and not really looking for comments from those that haven't used them.
Edit, just looked up those covers. I wouldn’t install those. The benefit to having heated grips is that they are always there, waiting to be turned on when you need them. I can’t imagine ever having the desire to install/remove the covers from time to time. Plus if they loosen up on the throttle that could be dangerous.
Edit again: you specifically said you weren’t looking for my comments, so never mind.
I had something similar from aerostich years ago on my DR650. They attached with velcro. I ended up zip tying them to make them secure. They were okay but I ended up with heated grips and liked them much better.
Yes it was. She said she couldn't find the Oxfords I asked for, and these were the next ones that popped up with decent reviews. For all the more they cost, I'm tempted to try them out.
I finally got around to putting these on. Installation was a breeze. I have only tested them in the garage, but they get warm...can't say they got hot, but I'll hold final opinion till I can give them a proper test.
Keep in mind that you feel the full effect of the heated grips if you add those large covers that shield the hands from the wind. Those make a huge difference, even of they look silly.
I had a set of Warm Wraps, same as Bike Master except they velcroed on, never had a problem with slippage. Mine were more than warm enough, even hot at times. Worked as well in the wet, thought I'd bag wrap the on-off switch. I liked them as i could switch them to other bikes as needed. I had them for several years. Two downsides is only an on-off switch, no low or high. And don't forget to turn them off if they draw direct from the battery. I now have a set of Oxford wraps. Not installed yet, next winter's job.
