The reason they get that hot is because on a sub zero day they also have to deal with the cold metal of the handlebar, so as you can imagine on an average days temperature these will fry your hands through thick gloves if the setting is too high, but luckily there are lots of settings that can be easily changed without removing your gloves.
I just stuck the little control unit to my right side fairing infill panel using velcro so that it has more protection from bad weather and is out of the way but still very easy to access, but it is waterproof anyway.
Only main recommendation is that you DO NOT wire straight to the battery, you wire so that it cuts out when the ignition is turned off.
At those sort of temperatures you don't wanna be leaving them switched on by mistake.
