Default Newly heated grips

I have spent the last week riding with my new "grip heaters." They're basically small velcro wraps that go around your grips and connect to your battery. I ride at 4:00 am and it has been about 45 degrees and I don't know how I did it without them. If anyone's looking for a cheaper option for heating grips, this is it. About $60 on eBay. They're called Oxford's HotHands. It took about 45 minutes to install completely and they're also quick-disconnect for when the sun comes up. The velcro holds pretty tight too.

Just wanted to share in case anyone was looking for warmer hands.

My wife loves her Oxford heated grips, they are the full install with the 9 heat settings.

I bought the same heated wrap around grips last year. They are definitely nice, but my gerbings G3 heated gloves are my first choicefor really cold weather riding. (below freezing.)

I've ridden into the teens. Cold temperatures have never been a problem for me. As long as road conditions are good, I'm good to go.[8D]
