Heated Grips

"Wait!" I can hear you exclaim. "Heated grips? But you’ve got heated gloves, for goodness sake! How much heat does one person need?"

Well the heated grips had been fitted by the previous owner. If you have normal circulation, heated grips are probably just fine. I found that the palms of my hands became unpleasantly hot whilst the outside froze; that’s why I went for the heated gloves. In REALLY cold weather I use both.

The controller died a while ago, so I obtained a replacement from, dare I say it, Ebay. Whilst installing it, I replaced the wiring at the same time. The original wiring ran straight from the battery, so I re-routed this to the auxiliary fuse box. It also means that the battery will not run flat if the heated grips are accidentally left on.
