Heated Grips

[wilcoy02]

I am looking to put heated grips on the 1100. The two pair I have are to short.
I would like to know what heated grips you have on your bike.

I haven't used any on a bike. Will the 1100 stator put out enough to power the heated grips without killing the battery? With all the lights on, cell phone charging, and radio on, I don't have anything extra to run heated grips. Something to think about.

my heated grips are in a box in the basement, they are the Hotgrips brand - they seem to work but I did not like the feel and since I am fair weather rider I don't need them

with the alternator conversion I have more than enough power to run the lights, radio, heated jacket and heated grips.
Just looking for the grips that will fit the 1100 as the ones I have are not long enough. That is why I was wondering what others are using.

Don't know if this is of any use, it may even electrocute you.

I have a set of those on my wing. They work great. What helped me is that i have leather covered foam grips. Basically its a rubber grip covered by foam and then a leather cover on top of that. What i did is put the heating element on top of the rubber grip, then reinstalled the other two layers. I don't lose any heat to the bars and the heat they give off is amazing. the combo of the grips and handle bar covers, i can ride down to 40 degrees comfortably without gloves.

I have the hot grips fit to my bike. I installed them myself it took a day to do the soldering, run the wires and install an indicator light. Very worthwhile if you ever ride in the cold or wet. I had about 75,000 miles before heated grips and I feel like a fool. The GL1100 will run the grips fine. It will also run extra lighting at speed. At idle the amps drop a bit so I turn someting off and it works just fine. A heated vest and grips is fine at the same time untill i stop and idle for a while. I have a gauge and I watch the amps and if it is a brief red light no problem at all.

In my situation, I needed to add a gel pad to the sagging foam in my seat. So what I did is bought a seat warmer and installed it at the same time. It is amazing how with just a little heat, how much colder a person can ride comfortably. If you want to ride below 60 degrees, a couple of these accessories are well worth it. Also I have no problem running both the grips and the seat on my bike . While you don't want to overburden the system, any unused electricity generated is just grounded and dissipated as heat anyway. Might as well find a way to make the heat work for you

The symtec grip heaters are the way to go. They only draw 36 watts on high so no problem with power.

Had them on my 08 1800 and they worked better than the factory ones on the 010.
