Ive seen Buell heated grips but they fit 06 and later bikes or something. I have an 03. Where can I get heated grips that will fit my bike? Thanks. |

order a set of the hi/lo polly heaters and install them your self. They're made for snowmobiles but work great on bikes. I have a set on my Uly |

The Buell heated grips work, your bike just doesn't have the accessory plug so you will have to splice connectors, something you will have to do with aftermarket heated grips too. |

I agree strongly with both statements above! If you want to spend the big $$, the Buell kit is nice because you get a factory switch. You just need to cut the accessory plug off and hardwire them (just as you would do with any kit). That said, I have the hi/lo Polly Grip heaters on 4 bikes, and they rock. Inexpensive, keep your current grips, rock solid reliable, no dangling power wire to break... Best $31 you'll spend on your bike! https://www.denniskirk.com/polly/hot-hands.p3916.p rd/3916.sku BE SURE to get the 2 position ones! They 2 setting are HOT and SCALDING! The 1 postion ones only have SCALDING! Here's a write up thread I did on the first set I installed (single setting...they eventually got replaced for 2 position!): http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/disc us.cgi?pg=next&topic=32777&page=392427 |

I have Heat Demons on my S2, I'm seriously considering a set for my Uly. http://www.heatdemons.com/Internal-Handlebar-Grip- Warmer-Kit-Metric_p_10.html |

heated grips really take alot of the bite out of riding in the cold. it may be more mental than anything, but having warm hands makes alot of difference for me. |

Polly Heaters are the way to go. I have them on 3 bikes. They are easy to install. |

I just received my set of Polly's yesterday in the mail. I ordered directly from the source. I'm hoping to get some time this weekend to do the install; the weather up here in MN brings about some chilly morning commutes. I've got new bars, grips, levers, crossbar pad, just waiting on my workbench. Now, a quick trip to Radio Shack to pick up a round 2 position switch to custom fit in the OEM location on the right hand switch pod and i'm rockin........ |

The heatdemons look sweet, and I love the idea of 4 positions, plus that controller looks saweet. But I can't imagine spending $150 for something I can accomplish for $32. I thought the controller looked like a nice piece...then I saw that they want $90 for that! |

Andy, I'm thinking the same thing.. I thing Reep (Bill K) designed a controller for the Poly's. I think I'm just going to put a set of those on the Uly.... |
