Where will you put the on/ off switch?...

Also,.. and this is just general curiosity,.. how do you allow for the throttle twist?... do the instructions say to leave a big loop of wire or something?...

I don't know for sure how they work under the throttle grip....but I know they do.  I have a friend with heated grips on his trials bike, and a lady at our gym has heated grips and seats on their Goldwing.  I believe you let the wire dangle out between the grip and throttle housing and give it some play to move around when you twist the grip.

I would almost think that heated gloves would be better.....as the heat would be more distributed on the backside of your fingers.  And a heated garage with a heated recliner would be even more better!

I've had both grips & gloves.   The grips are OK up to a point, but I prefer the gloves in really cold weather for the reasons Dave has stated.   It also depends on how well protected your hands are from the wind stream.  If you've a got a big "bat wing" type windshield with hand protection it makes a big difference, because it's really the air moving over your hands that removes body heat.   In extra cold weather I wear skin diver gloves (neoprene) under my leather gloves.   The neoprene is a good insulator, and keeps things tolerable in cold rain.
