+2 for the oxfords.  I put a set on my FJ and a set on Donna's Ninja 650.  A little over $100 each canadian right from the local bike shop.  Great investment.  Donna's are newer and have a different controller for them.  They seem to put out a bit more heat.  I bought a third set for my brother's ZX14 but haven't installed them yet.  Maybe after all this spring's FJ projects....

I bought a couple of sets of grip heaters from a vendor to try on my bike. The are wired the same as the original post with a toggle switch for high & low.

They sell for $29.98 if anyone is interested. I have a set on my bike, but I have not ridden much this year to try them out.

If interested let me know,

Adding more resistance would mean more heat in the resistor, but less in the gloves, yes?

Randy,
The grip heating elements ARE the resistors.

Do some setups not use switched resistors to adjust the heat?




Yep, the Hot Grips have a resistor in the system to switch between High and Low settings.
