Sorry for NOT replying mate. you know what I have been using, but am going to a better Gauranteed reliable quality brand next time, will be getting them direct from the UK or the USA, they will cost more, but they are 100% reliable, not like a lot of stuff around at the moment.

I use Chicken hawk warmers. Been great so far. Except I noticed i had ripped the rear warmer, so need to patch that up.

Sweet, saw you out side Mt Eden on sunday, YEP, I was up there again, 3 x last week, man I am sick of driving, PS, I did manage to blow away a Subaru WRX tricked out unit in my Mazda BT50 over the very windy roads in Taranaki though, so that was kind of funny. I better get a race bike again I think:doh:

Yep - these are the ones that I have. I've got the digital ones and they are awesome. Definitely very very good bang for buck as well. Check out the Cycletreads website as they are having a sale on them.

I use KLS.
nice carbon heater elements, not wire as most are. The heat spread is better and not localised to around the wire elements. They are at a premium but are very very good items.
Remember, regardless of what you get, they are only as good as you look after them, coil them up (not tight) after you take them off so they cool slowly, don't leave them lying around etc etc.

They are good quality imported from the UK. Good price too. Plenty of guys round here use them (me included) and they are very good quality. Never had a problem with mine.

Agreed! I use them they are good and more importantly they are local guys and what ever you buy, buy from the guys that support the racers!!

Chicken Hawk have been really good.... You can get them direct off that bike gear warehouse with free delivery to NZ.

Another vote for tyrewarmers.co.nz Very good value with excellent back-up and follow through from Phil and Steve. They don't self destruct like those cheap red ones with the digital readout have been known to either. I bought the lowest spec ones they had, and have zero complaints.

Colt - from Australia, 10 years from last set of those, have tried a few others that were cheap not as good, went back to colts last year & now look forward to another ten years service life.....
