• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Any advice on 'better than stock' F3 heated grips?

I have a 2015 Can Am Spyder F3 and am looking to install heated grips, but not the factory grips, as I want better temp control. Been doing some looking and cannot really see anyone installing anything but stock. Anyone have any advice?
 
You can do what I did. I added snowmobile heated grip elements over the stock grips and use bicycle handlebar tape over them. I bit of a project to get the wiring right, and the right high power switch for them, but they work great.
Or, I would suggest just getting heated gloves.
 
Oxford heated grips always gave me a superb result. Four units installed in several ATV's, and I just ordered some yesterday to install in my Spyder.
Keep me posted on your install. Curious about how the throttle side fits?
 
Heated grip wraps work great! I have 5 settings on mine. I sometimes ride with them on the coolest setting while also using my F3 OEM heated grips. OEM heated grips are not hot enough for me. I had the same set up on my 2018 and now on my 2023. Purchased on Amazon.

Definitely not recommended for the Spyder. I managed to install it and it does work good, as usual; but the Spyder throttle pipe is about 2 mm thicker than the standard for motorbikes, so it was a nightmare to fit the Oxford grip on the right side. Not a job for beginners.
 
Installed an inexpensive set of Bike Master heated grips on my 2020 F3. They actually worked pretty good.
I agree with @Mef in that the throttle side requires some work. I used a sanding belt to reduce the diameter of the tube. I worked it by hand and took my time.
Sorry, but I did not document it, and I've since sold that bike.
