This article follows the installation of heaters that fit on the bars under your grips. There is also a kind that includes the grips and heater as one unit. For those, see [http://www.hotgrips.com/ hotgrips.com].

Some manufacturers say to glue the grips to the heaters, which really isn't such a bad idea. For grip installation help, go to [[I want to get some new grips]].

====Addendum====

After running the battery dry by forgetting to turn off the switch, our man decided to put a warning light into his system. If you don't want to add a relay or modify your accessory wires (above), then you can install an LED light. Buy a 12v red (or other bright color) LED, a 330 ohm resistor, and an LED holder. Solder the resistor to the LED in the holder, because that way the current is regulated by it and cannot peak and destroy the LED. The LED must be in parallel with the heated grips and not in series, otherwise the current drawn by the grips will destroy the LED.
