I fully realize there is probably already a thread about this but I seem to be having trouble with the search function. I will gladly take links to other threads. I have a 2015 F800 GS and for the most part I love the bike. I am wondering with the posts about the heated grips on the F800 being dependent on high revs as well as my own experience should I be concerned about purchasing heated gear for this bike? My only real issue is with fingers getting too cold. I am considering bar buffs because I had a coworker offer to sell me some heated gloves. I turned them down. I should mention I don't like the idea of relying on heated gear especially if I am not sure there is enough electrical capacity. I am pretty comfortable down into the low thirties for short trips with just my Goretex gloves.
I am not looking to be the guy that rides all winter but I would like to increase the number of day where I think, "It is a great day to ride" even in the middle of the winter in Colorado. Does anyone have experience on running heated gear on the F800 GS? If so how is it connected and do you worry about the battery?
