Well after 14 years of daily commuting to and throw work i have done something i said i would never do and need to do. Gone and bought a set of heated grips for my RR. These 2 days have taken thier toe on me for some reason. ( i am still wearing shorts whilst working though but the ride to work is killing my fingers) So i bought some. None of your crap cheap wrap around ones. These are your real macoy. All new hand grips with adjustable thermostat. When these beauties get hot they get hot.

I knew the day of becoming old was near and today has been the day.

So to go with my Shrinking Shrivering willy i now own a pair of heated grips.

Just wanted an opportunity to say sorry to those of you who own these for all the "P" taking i have done over the years.

I to now know what its like to become old.

I'm getting very tempted, it's only ever my hands that get cold so heated grips would make sense!

We fitted Kellys last weekend too, she even uses hers in the summer!!

I hate the feel of the grips, so have never used them, just bought winter gloves and if I really felt like a faggot I would of bought the windstopper under gloves

Well all fitted and they get damn hot.

Wired them through ignition incase i forget to turn them off. Glad to as i put them on for 10 secs earlier to make sure they worked without the engine running and they completely drained the battery

The bleedin switch with the temp adjuster on is big though as someone else mentioned and do agree about the grips being slightly larger does feel odd at first
