My grips were wearing off during the 2012 season. They were put on by the previous owner. He mounted them over heated grips. He bought a foreign-made heated grip kit and it still works well.
I went back and forth over which brand to buy. I ended up buying two sets from the Internet.This is the set that worked out for me.
Removal of foam grips was easy since I was going to cut them off. However, I did not know what effect a utility knife might have on the grip heaters. So I inverted the blade and cut up through the grips to get them off.
Here's what the heated grips look like without foam covers.
Looking at the right side grip from underneath.
Because I had the grip heaters, I chose not to put any hair spray on the handles to make it easier to slip on the foam grips.
Sliding the foam grips over the heaters went fine. I worked slowly to roll them up a bit and then just push them on.
The grips have not slipped or twisted at all since I have had them on.Although the spring in Wisconsin has been cold and wet, I have not run the heated grips for longer than a simple function test.
The feel of the grips is good in my hands. I appreciate the curve under my palm as I hold the grips.
