Heated grips again! @@##$

[acpd22]

There has probably bee several discussions on the heated grips but here we go again. Has anyone come up with a rheostat to adjust the heat setting from cold to hell? Secondly, I have seen several types of grips that slip on over the existing ones. Can these be used with the heated grips and still work?

On the slip-on grips, these work great, and do not hurt the ability to feel the heat.

Heated grip controllers

Use pulse width modulators. Easy to wire in and do not waste power like a rheostat or load resistor.
Found a kit that includes all the parts and a proper circuit board forless than the cost of just the components for doing it yourself. Its available from Quality Kits for $20. Thanks to Chris Hulgan for the link.
I have used two of these controllers since winter 2011 and no problems yet.
I have one controlling my jacket and one controlling my gloves. Wired into a hobby box and velcro to the dash.

Or, if you want plug and play: http://www.warmnsafe.com/dual-portable-heat-troller-coax/

No worries about power usage, the Spyder has plenty for your needs.

While that Heat Troller could be wired up and used for the grips, it's not 'plug and play'. Those are for use on clothing and have unique plugs you'd have to adapt.

It is nothing different than cutting the ends off, certainly better than a Radio Shack project, and much more doable for those with limited electrical skills. But, Heat Troller has grip specific Heat Trollers too: http://www.warmnsafe.com/handgrip-heat-trollers/

I don't disagree it's a good way to go, but don't want anyone to think it's 'plug and play'. Cutting the ends off is the easy part, connecting them properly considering this is carrying some amperage is important. Wouldn't want someone just twisting them together and taping them.

I used the foam grips that slide over your existing grips..It takes time to get the heat thru the grip now.
It was from one of the sponsers on this site. Believe it was TRICLED had them and they have a sale right now.
