[QUOTE="dbx, post: 919890, member: 1677"] I totally don't get the attraction of an integrated grip+heater when much better (IMHO) options exist. Starting with the tried and true Dual Star (or its cousins Symtex, Kimpex, etc.) will keep a bunch of money in your pocket while allowing you to use the grips of your choice rather than the wacky-shaped grips shown in the photo above, plus you get to use the OEM grip heat controller and existing chassis wiring. The fact that these are too short and require you to move the handlebar controls to get a good fit, plus the poor integration with the cheap (but popular) throttle locks, make the whole thing pretty much of a dud, if you ask me. Yeah, no one asked me, I know. Regarding that poor integration with throttle locks, this is your chance to go with an Audiovox cruise control. :) [/QUOTE]
