Mine are wired to the ignition, key off, heated grips off.
When i say they get hot, i mean bloody hot, bearing in mind i have padded gloves on and it's very cold outside.
I think that grips are a little OTT for my riding because even though I go out in 3 or 4 degrees most of my rides will be no more than 2 hours.
What I need are aa battery operated inner gloves, but not those in the link as has been said they wont fit in my gloves and its the fingers that I need warming and not the hands. Thats also why I err away from grips because I made a note the other day of checking how I grip the grips and I don't actually grip all the way around as from my knuckle to the fingertips does not touch the gripsl. What would work is rings of wire that go around the finger tip ends and down the back of your hand to connect up and that would fit under any glove.
You keep doing 2 hour rides and you'll end up spending more in batteries than a set of heated grips would cost.
And your fingers are joined to your hands, the heat travels to them too via warming of the blood in your palms.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
