trying to warm up fingers
Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2003 9:34 am
I am a home grown Minnesotan, and have about 500 miles on the A16
already this year. I broke down and installed "hotgrips" this year
and have only good things to say about the product and its'
performance on the klr. I found an older version on Ebay for cheap
so I couldn't psss it up, and it it still available on the Hotgrips
website. I think the heat output is not what the newer versions
are, but on high it is more than plenty IMHO. I thought the newer
versions were a bit pricey, but as I said the older version is still
available (I think) and it costs less. see hotgrips.com I am not
a big time wrencher, but I can build a hell of a deer stand given
some lumber and deck screws and I manage an electro-mechanical
project now and then on the klr or on the sleds. If you have a
soldering iron, you are more than equiped to tackle the installation
of hotgrips. The two wires behaind the fairing for the european
running lights work just fine for a power source, and the wiring
diagram was pretty dirt simple, even I could do it. Perhaps the
biggest challenge was removing the oem grips. But even that went ok
with a few tools. there are probably posts still on the list
regarding this, you may try searching. If you want more guidance
or info feel free to email me.
