pro tip put a layer or two of self fusing tape on the non throttle side between the bar and heater. The metal bar acts like a heat sink so you get uneven heating on that side. the tape insulates the heater from the metal bar.

Looks like a Harbour freight pick set used to pull the plugs from that connector, I have the same ones!

Thank you for all the vids on this bike. All these changes I have planned to do to mine as well.....pretty much a clone of yours. Now, these are like tutorial videos. :) Keep up the great work!

I like using those same grips for harescramble racing. It seems to help reduce arm pump

I'm interested to see how they do for me off road, seems like it they should really help!

The 80 watts are the extra output from gen 2 to gen 3

Here in the North Atlantic we have had 5 snow falls or more. So it’s definitely upgrade season after the longest riding season we ever had. Me batteries all around this year- maybe a round of Quad locks after this maybe a set of heated gor my goldwing

Nice! I've never used a quadlock but they look pretty nice!

Awesome, I definitely need these riding to work in the 30s!!

@SwankyCatProductions Жыл бұрын

I remember riding to the Tech School on my dad's Magna when it was in the upper 30s. No heated grips and thin gloves, boy did the suck lol.

Great video. I've been looking at heated grips for my 2nd gen..

@SwankyCatProductions Жыл бұрын

Thanks! These should work pretty well on a gen2 I think, you'd just have to find a keyed wire under the fairing. Not sure there's much to choose from though, headlight maybe haha.

When I had my KLR ,I noticed a big difference with gel handgrips.

@SwankyCatProductions Жыл бұрын

I think they will definitely be a nice addition!

These heaters still working for you?

@SwankyCatProductions 10 ай бұрын

Yep! I've got them on 3 bikes now. No issues yet. I did buy another bike with Oxford heated grips already installed. Those definitely heat up faster and the clutch side keeps up much better with the brake side (however if you wrap electrical tape around the bar prior to installing the heater it'll help insulate it from the heat sink bar.
