[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 440091, member: 277"] paulie, your BigBike Parts link is broken but I think you are looking at grips like this: (clickable pic) [URL="https://www.bigbikeparts.com/Inventory/Navision/17-950?catalogNo="][IMG]https://www.bigbikeparts.com/images/productimages/17-950.jpg[/IMG][/URL] If so, this grip kit is sold at brand motorcycle shops via their Parts America catalog. Usually the price is in the $70 range and they are listed as Goldwing grip heaters. Living in Alaska you do not want these grips. I've written a review on this grip kit that includes an electrical analysis, you may want to do a search. The Reader's Digest Condensed version is -- these grips are low power and will not generate the kind of heat you will want. If you don't want to [S]bend over for[/S] spend the ridiculous amount of money for Yamaha grips you should look into heat tapes and a Heat Troller. The heat tapes will generate all the heat any good kit will produce, plus, you can select and install the grips of your choice. Edited: I see that paulie's link in his 03:21 PM post is actually quoted from NovaFlyer's opening post two years ago. paulie, BigBike has changed P/Ns but still carry the cheap grips, click my grip pic to go to their site. I DO NOT recommend this grip kit. The grips are half the power they should be and the controller is not a pulse width modulator, it is a BANG-BANG power spiker. [/QUOTE]
