IndyGT said:It really depends on what you want to achieve. If you're looking to add versatility and value to your bike, then the BMW grips are the most elegant and best solution.
But if your real motive is to have comfortably warm hands while riding at speed, your money is better spent on heated gloves. They do a far better job of keeping your entire hand warm and you get to keep them if and when you part company with the bike.
Good thoughts. I do want to add versatility and value to the bike. I've considered the Gerbing's gloves, but am not too keen on the entire personal wiring aspect ÔÇö as I'll already be wearing my electric vest under my jacket, I'd like to keep it simple.IndyGT said:It really depends on what you want to achieve.

I'd take it you're recommending the BMW grips . Yeah, I think it would be a good idea, as the OEM retrofit kit is available for my bike...lkchris said:Heated gloves probably do work, but then you get to wear those bulky gloves that interfere with your control of the bike. Yes, when it's really cold, you'll need bulky gloves even with heated grips. But, there are times when the grips are just enough. Why anyone would consider anything but the BMW items is beyond me.

Because the BMW items cost $100 more. For many folks (not living off a trust fund), that is a significant difference when there is zero difference in functionality.lkchris said:Why anyone would consider anything but the BMW items is beyond me.
