Heated Grips
I always viewed them as an interesting accessory.
Now that they were standard on the Limited, I tried them a couple of times, but couldn't go much past the number 1 setting or my hands started burning. But on my ride back from Vegas a couple weeks ago there were a few spots, going over Westguard pass, (CA state route 168 going into Nevada by Lida Junction, NV 266, to US 95) I was able to crank them up to number 3 and was glad for them. Today I will see how high I need to go to keep my hands warm with only my roper gloves on...

I've ventured as high as 4 during an early 5am ride to work. I've also had them cranked up to 6 on a steamy September day care of Russ on our ride to New Hampshire this past summer. Not only do they get hot, but they stay hot even when turned off

Russ=knob twiser
check! And I've been happy with the heated grips on the few occasions that I've tried them out. Not sure I seen a need past 3 or 4. They get really really hot.

Mine have become intermittent.
I don't know if it's the circuit breaker, or the grips themselves. I know this is an old thread. Sent from my Galaxy Note 8 using Tapatalk

It wasn't that cold.
But the mosquitoes about carried us away at the construction stop light. Those high altitude mosquitoes have a really short courting window, so they have really large bore suckers... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Being a wimp in my old age I have given up riding in the cold. I'm ashamed to admit it but that's the way it is.

That's the best thing about being old: nothing left to prove and you can not prove it in the comfort of a cozy wood stove.
