If it helps, I saw these at the NEC and they did feel very warm. They had them on their display stand all wired up and they certainly felt good. No idea what they're like quality-wise, however R&G tend to be pretty good for most things and have a decent customer service.

I've spent a great deal of time changing out or bypassing these "electronic" controllers and to be honest they pop like light bulbs, the Daytonas are very good with a simple rotary switich with 2 settings and I've never known one to go wrong, but they are around the £50 mark, these look a safer bet on that front but I've not used them myself, just going on the look.

Cheers Mark.

got some of these for xmas but not fitted them yet, will let you know as soon as.

also my wife got them for me off ebay but she had trouble with the 1st seller she used, she ordered 22/11/10 and they never arrived, then the seller supposedly sent another pair (like ya do) and guess what these never came either, eventually did get a refund though. She then got them from bikedevils on ebay for the same price and they came quickly..

I've got Daytonas on the Versys and until recently was going to swop the rotary controller for a genuine Honda electronic one salvaged from a written off Pan Euro. I wanted a simple push button type because I had limited feeling in my left hand and had trouble gripping it to turn the knob, but since then I've got all the feeling back so no need to bother.

The Daytonas are extremely good heated grips, had about 5 or 6 sets on different bikes now with no problems.

Nobby, I see you got the symtec gear, these were recommended to me earlier, are they easy enough to fit??

I have Symtec heater elements fitted. I fitted mine earlier last year (2010).. they're really easy to fit and work well. 3 stage (High / Low / Off) rocker switch fitted on 'dash' looks like it was fitted to the bike in the factory.
