Review on πŸ”₯ BikeMaster Heated Grips: LCD Switch for 7/8" Handlebars - Stay Warm and Comfortable While Riding by Thasapon Keitt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product for the price

I bought these units last year before any reviews were posted. I wanted heated grips and always wanted a volt meter so that seemed like a good idea. At first I was concerned about the quality, but no more. I wired mine through a relay so it was a bit tricky but still easy. Pre-wired connectors make connection easy after power is connected. BTW, the harness connectors aren't waterproof, so I smeared each connector with dielectric grease in hopes of preventing future corrosion. The wire gauge in the harness is thin but it gets the job done. The handles are larger than standard handles. Before installing these handles I used handles but because of this the handles were too big. I find the diameter of these grips to be almost perfect. The handles are rubberized, durable and tough. As far as I can tell, the right and left grips heat up equally. The grips heat up slowly, but when they do, they're nice and warm. At high temperatures, they become almost too hot for non-insulated gloves, while for insulated gloves they become warm to the touch. I was expecting the voltmeter to not be very accurate, but it matches my test gauges perfectly. The display has a soft blue backlight. The display is small but large enough to quickly read the voltage while driving. The heating part of the display is very small. The programming instructions are simple, but I found the programming easy. Once you've programmed it, all you have to do is press the button once and it goes into warm-up mode. After the programmed time has elapsed, it drops to the parameter you programmed. Of course you can always press the button and set the temperature manually or switch off the heating. If I'm not doing anything wrong, you can't turn off the display/voltmeter when the device has power. Unless these pens suddenly die, I'm happy with them and will buy them again.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Compatibility
