I have the Oxford sports ones with the 4 settings. Make a real difference. Probably not as much as good gloves, but they are always there if needed. For the cost, no brainer.

4 settings are a bit pointless, you'd never want 25% or 50% heat, so there is a cheaper one with just on/off which is probably fine.

One issue I personally had is that the length of them meant the OEM bar ends (K5 naked) didn't screw in as well and as a result fell out. Replaced them with aftermarket ones and been fine since. Also this was a naked SV, and the SVs I think has different bar ends anyway.
