    I'm pleased for the ce in braceless, it would be very bracing otherwise...

    Thanks. I have been riding her all week, and have had an absolute ball!


    It gets cold enough for this gal, I am doing an early morning commute and that will start in sub zero temps if last winter is anything to go by.

    I bought 8 sets of these last year. I bought a couple early in the year and they worked so well I grabbed another 6.

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Motorcycle-He...#ht_2758wt_905

    With postage ended up less than $10 each and we have fitted them to a few of our bikes. We changed the switch to a fully waterproof one but they worked fine. I still have a spare set and will be fitting that to my TDM tomorrow. The hardest part for me is figuring out where to put the switch so it is easy to reach with gloves on.

    DualStar also do a similar kit with 2 levels of heat but at closer to $US30. A rheostat from DSE or Jaycar can also be fitted giving variable heat.

    Cheers

    Yeah, heated handgrips are the best! Nothing worse than numb hands.
    I found with my dodgy thumb that the heated handgrips helped with the pain too, the warmth kept it down to a dull ache instead of the usual loud roar of pain
