Oxford Heated Grips

Installed a set of Oxford Grip Heaterz (dumb name) on the Seca II this spring. $80 for the pair, including the controller. These replace your stock grips and glue/epoxy to the throttle tube. They get warm (150F) and can extend your riding season quite a bit, or get you home if you mistakenly get caught in a 45F rainstorm on Mt Evans in June while wearing your ventilated jacket.
I fabricated a custom mount for the controller and mounted it in front of my brake master cylinder, using the master-cylinder bolts to hold it in place. I wanted the install to be clean and this hides the controller from view when off the bike.
The grips have four settings and a voltage monitor that shuts them off if battery voltage gets too low. I've installed a relay off of the running lights to power them so they won't work if the key is off.
If you do a lot of cold riding, I'd recommend a pair!
