Tusk Heated Grip Kit for ATVs - Black Rubber Heated Grips with Digital Control

I bought this to use on my '78 Suzuki, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I installed it myself and have been using it for a couple of months. So far, I'm very happy with it. It installed easily, although I added a fuse and relay (another $10), for safety and current-flow reasons. A switch and resistor are included, and the wires were more than long enough for my application. The installation took only about an hour, largely due to my indecision as to where to route the wires and where to place the switch and relay.The heaters provide a nice amount of heat and greatly improve my comfort durign my morning commute. (in temps down to 25F so far) The high setting is toasty in frigid weather, and the low setting is a nice comfort on cool mornings.I recommend this product f you are comfortable adding wiring to your bike, but be sure your charging system can handle the extra current and install a 12V automotive relay so you won't run your battery down if you forget to turn off the system. A fuse is also a good idea, because the heaters draw a lot of current, and most of the wiring will be under your gas tank.

It was my first time installing under grip heaters. The plastic base of each heater is really thin/flimsy, mine reacted with the solvent carrier in the Scott Grip Glue the local yokel shop sold me and they pretty much gooed instantly, smearing and twisting beneath the grip as I tried to slide it on. FUBAR. Total loss, had to cut the grip off. The bars I was using also had a knurled texture on the clutch side, which probably didnt help the heaters to seat properly. Wrong bars plus the worst glue you can choose plus generic ass Renthal grips (which I did not preheat and were much too stiff) plus these economy style heaters did not work for me and I altogether blew $40 learning this. On the next attempt I bought a new conventional handlebar with no knurling, a similar but MUCH higher quality Symtec DIY kit, Driven Grippy Grips and JB Weld (which was actually suggested by the Symtec instructions), I preheated the bar and the inside of the grips with a heat gun before applying them to the bar, the clouds parted, the angels sang, everything went perfectly well and the results were fantastic. So yeah, it might be possible to make this work maybe, but you probably ought to halfway know what you're getting into to make it happen. Also you better have a spot to stash that bulky resistor, which is going to get super hot fyi.

Given the options of heated gloves with a heat troller, Hippo Hands, or heated grips, heated grips are by far the least expensive option. They are not complex to install, though I would recommend having experience in soldering/wiring, and being able to remove your gas tank to run wiring if necessary. While not complex to install, the install may take several hours to do a neat job. The installation instructions are clear, but you will probably need a few additional things like zip ties and crimp connectors.In terms of functionality, I haven't had a very cold day to use them on yet, but they definitely heat the grips. I can feel that heat through thick ski gloves. The right grip gets warmer than the left grip, since the right is a plastic throttle tube, while the left is a metal handlebar that sinks some of the heat.

This is a very easy to install and worth while accessory for your atv/snowmobile/dirt bike. It makes a soggy or snowy day a lot more pleasant to ride in. I bought two along with the handle bar hand covers, together I can ride on the coldest of days without wearing gloves. The install is easy.Remove the hand grips, I used a screw driver and a can of white lithium grease to break the adhesive. Stick the straw all the way into the grip from the outside and spray, it'll come right off. Then clean the handle bar by using some break cleaner. Spray some down the inside of the grip too then rinse it with water, don't get any break cleaner in your eyes.Peel and stick the heating pads in place. I recommend leaving the back on it and using some clear tape before permanent install to make sure your wires will reach. Then go for it. Once they are on hot dog style (wires pointing towards center of quad)use electrical tape to run down the center (where the two sides come together) and at both ends, trust me its important. wire your grips then use zip ties to tie down to the handle bars. Turn the grips on high and make sure they work (high is on when the switch is pushed in the direction of the wire with the inline transistor thing, you'll understand when you get this far).When your ready to get your grips back on, and they won't slide on. I recommend using a little dieletric grease. Squeeze a pea sized amount on the heating pad and rub it on. Then do your darnest to get it off using papertowels. Some residue will be left over, just enough to get your grips to slide on, without spinning around on the handle bar. The hotter the pad is the easier your grips will go on.Thats the whole install, 30 minutes per bike, only tools needed are a flat head screw driver, white lithium grease, brake cleaner, wire crimpers, hobby knife to cut a hole for your switch, electrical tape, and some dieletric gease.Highly recommended for anyone in the northeast!

I installed these grips on my bike myself, i put them on my old suzuki katana for those cold days. I tested them out up to the lower 30s and they kept my hands very well heated. the tops of my hand got a little chilly but i was wearing vented gloves that usually keep my hands cool in the hottest of summer days. i think with a good set of winter moto gloves + heated grips i won't ever need other accessories to keep my hands warm (heated gloves for example, or those hippo hand covers)they were pretty easy to wire as well. took probably about a half hour to an hour tops. on the hi setting my hands are too warm, usually set it to hi to warm up then keep em on low. for this climate (southern NY) i think i should be good all year round.

You don't get the molded grips and digital control. All you get is the heat pad and toggle switch. You can save $10 on the same thing, different brand. I would have returned it if I wasn't short on time. They work fine, good thing I had a pair of handle bar grips.
