| Heated grips are all about the same I think. The Avons are fatter around then stock. Witchdoctor has a video on how to install |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | I have Avons on now. I wore the cable of the oem heated grips out on the throttle side because of the twisting. The Avons seem to have a beefier cord. The Avons require you mount the switch by the grip though. Both Avon and oem get plenty hot. Avon gives you 4 levels and a LED power/level guage.

Manchester, CT | I have the Avon grips installed. They are better than the OEMs - Warmer and 4 settings. |

| I've had my Avons for a couple of years now. The rubber needs to be replaced, which I understand they will do for $10 per grip. However, I hated the 4 way LED switch they provide, and tossed it immediately. It resets to "off" every time you restart the bike. Instead, I wired mine through the console OEM switch, with the high side being 100%, and the low side routed through a pulse width modulator (like a mini rheostat) that I mounted on the left side of the plastic console skirt. with just the dial protruding. Now I have totally variable heat, that maintains it's previous setting, that doesn't reset to off every time you fire the bike up. |

| Thanks for the post guys , My OEM grips get hot for about 2 minutes, then stay luke warm after that. My seat does the same thing. I ride all year in kansas. ( unless there is snow / ice ) Disappointing I can't take advantage of the heat.
I want the seat so hot, I can sit on a hotdog and have it cooked when I GET HOME .
thanks
