There are heated gloves with build-in heating ,powered by a rechargeable battery. How about that? Greetz Kropatchek

Jesse, hope you are going to be able to make the Savage Mt St Helens "scoot" in June with us. FYI there was a string of articles on heated grips on one of these yahoo sites. NWTT(thumpers) or the PNWRoadriders forum. They were fitting them on BMW's and others but have a list of the parts # needed. Also check out snowmobile heated grips as those dealers ought to be glad to sell anyparts at this point. No snow = no sales. My Mom lives in Judson Part Retirement Community in Des Moines, we get there about once a month to visit her, but don't ride or bring the bike over. Do you know of the bike customizer who has a shop on Marine view drive? Max

Actually had to stop for a cup of coffee when I got gas to warm my hands up. Has anyone put heated grips on their Savage?

Some mornings I leave and it's 2 below zero C. 20 minute ride and i have to stop half way for ten minutes to warm up!! I don't think i've ever experienced cold quite like that and I lived in the arctic circle for four years! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR[/color][color=Red][font=Verdana][/font]

I have had the "Hot Grips" brand of heated grips on the last 3 motorcycles that I use for long distance touring. I wouldn't be without them. Last Sunday, I put 340 miles on my motorcycle, with the temps starting at 27 F and going up to 45. When it's in the 20-30F range, I combine the grips with a set of "Moose Hands". This setup makes the hands the last thing to get cold instead of the first. I also wear thin deerskin gloves year round, as bulky gloves don''t give me the feel of the controls that I like. Instalation is pretty straight foreward with basic knowlege of electrical stuff. Always use relays on stuff like this. Ususl price of the grips ate between $60-80, but you can find them on sale from time to time. A side benefit of the grips is they help dry the gloves after riding in the rain.
