    I have these

    They transfer the heat from the grips well. They do take a little longer (1-2 min?) to heat up but once warm I keep them at the same level as before. I have about 12k miles with them so far and they are ready to be replaced.

    I prefer these (or Grip Puppies) as well. Transfer heat well and make a world of difference for a comfortable grip. Have them on 3 bikes and they last me 2-3 years. Tip for installation - put a towel or paper towel under the grip area to absorb overspray and then spray the existing grip and the inside of the foam grip liberally with non-aerosol (like a pump bottle) hair spray. They will just slip on. Squeeze the grip with the towel to absorb excess hair spray and let them dry for 20-30 minutes. If you don't have any spray, you can pick up a travel size spray bottle of TREsemme' hair spray (or something similar) for about $1.50 at Walmart or Target or similar stores.

    If you have an air compressor available, start one end of the foam grip on the bars, place an air nozzle between the grip and the foam grip and apply air while pulling the grip on

    Should take about 2 mins to install both sides, removal is much faster


    I also have the Shinhopples, made a huge difference in comfort

    I have not noticed any difference in temperature with the heated grips

    3 years/10,000 miles and the grips look brand new

    I just ordered a fresh set of the shingrips, to replace the 2 year old ones I have. This will be my 3rd set.
