Hi all, just wondering if anyone out there has experience with a heated grip kit on their bonny or could recommend a decent quality one? I live in Canada and I've never had them before on previous bikes but I'm thinking they'd be nice in early spring or fall...

I'm not sure what's out there and putting on a cheap set almost seems like it would be more of a liability than a benefit. I couldn't find anything on it when I did a topic search.

Thanks! :???:

People really seem to enjoy Hot Grips, though I have no direct experience. Dual Stars are also supposed to be good, but I've heard negative things about dealing with a/the company that supplies them.

I have dual stars on mine for 1 season - they work great, and only cost around $30. I got help from another member on how to install them - pretty easy -

I swear by the Oxford heaterZ heated grips here in Maine. They can burn you through your gloves if you aren't careful. They are available from Whitehorse Gear:
