I've had these on the bike about months now. I bought them because on an '01 with factory heated grips the only option to put a larger diameter grip on the bike is more than I want to pay. These little foam devils are very comfortable. I was amazed at how much they actually did increase the overall diameter of the grips. I did a 1000 mile trip shortly after installing the grips and they made for a much more comfortable ride. Much less fatigue for my hands. As far as working with the heated grips, yes they do. You will have to turn them up a bit higher to allow the heat to radiate through the Grip Puppies (of course) but they worked just fine in that regard. 3 stars? Yup. The install was a real bugger for me. Tried soaking them in hot water, tried the soap on the inside, tried forcing them, tried yelling at them, etc etc. Finally, I used two long, small diameter screw drivers, one on each side of the handle bar. I kept twisting the screw drivers around the handle bar while maintaining one on each side of the bars and the grip actually slid up and into place without too much difficulty. Just be careful not to cut the Puppy, or you'll be buying new ones. |
