[QUOTE="FJRocket, post: 206235, member: 299"] Dunno where you guys are riding, how cold it is, or what kind of gloves you are wearing. Let me say that the heated grips on my AE are just "OK". Mechanically, the contols and the grips are great. But I put heated grips on my '04 and the heat output that the OEMs have is pitiful in comparison. A couple of you guys state that you are riding with the control at about half. I leave mine on full. They get fairly warm, but nothing compared to the aftermarket setup. So regrettably, I'm a little biased by what I previously had. When I need the heat the most, I don't seem to get as much heat as I need on my '06. NowI have Widder gloves and VStrom hand guards to suppliment the mediocre heated AE grips. Having said that, I'd definitely get heated grips. However, if you are handy, the aftermarket heated grips put out more heat and are a lot cheaper. [/QUOTE]
