cheap heated grips
 
Apologies if posted in wrong section. Heads up for 2 wheel junkie selling Keis heated grips just now for £20 plus postage (3.70) (supposed rrp is £49). No idea how long price runs for or whether they are any use. Only two heat settings but certainly seems cheap for a known brand. If they are useless, please don't tell me as mine are in the post!

Mine too - to replace my roxter ones which have conked out. Hopefully these will be OK and last a bit longer...

Replacement heated gloves hopefully on the way from gerbing too. Can't have too much warmth going on. Guaranteed to be nobody in at delivery time though so they can all spend a week in a depot somewhere...!

They are fine, they are just being re-branded.

I have a pair on my SV, two heat settings, one does nothing, one is full bore heat.

I can have them on high and deal with the heat by raising my fingers for a second or so if im on the motorway, its just enough to cool them if you feel uncomfortable, they have lasted many many miles, but they arent the best ones ever.

After seeing this thread for a pair for 20 quid, ive just ordered another set for the cbr.

Mine have just arrived. Unlike some other brands they don't arrive ready to fit both terminals direct to the battery. Instead, the negative has a ring connector which could go to battery or other earth point. The positive is just bare wire for connecting into a switched positive line.
The downside of this is that they are not as immediately plug and play as some others. The plus side is that if fitted this way you won't kill your battery by leaving them on. I am planning on connecting via Bibio's magical gizmo.

Everything else looks as per other types, so relatively straightforward to fit. On pack instructions are a bit vague. If you haven't fitted heated grips before Youtube is probably your friend. If yours are like mine, don't waste too much time looking for the 'glue provided'. It's not there!
