Good evening,

sorry, a new thread for that; there are plenty about heated grips, none helped me so far.

my 14 will need heated grips shortly.

Have ordered originals, not the ones with unit in the dashboard, but the ones with integrated until on left side, from dealer. Two months waiting. No response.

So chasing alternatives:

- showchrome; donīt like the control unit. Seem to heat well.

- OEM with unit on dashboard, pricy...I know these grips from other bikes, are universal (beside length of the grip) for all japanese makers. Grip doesnīt reach fantastic temperature. And touch/feel is harsh.


- heat demon grips. The unit seems quite integrated. To me actually the ones I would take in case they warm properly.

Question: anyone has had oportunity to compare at least two of the three options on F6B or other bikes? ; to me specially heating power is the issue before how they look.

regards
Alex
