You might want to consider running your 12 volt power thru your key switch so the grips only work when the switch is on. Now if you forget to turn them off when your done riding they will drain your battery.
@@81volvo240 My ATV has a 12 volt 'cigarette lighter" socket. That's one option. I might use that circuit, depending how many amps it will support. I might add automatic low voltage shutoff switch also. It connects to the battery and saves the battery from getting low if you accidentally leave something on.
The heated grips are a game changer when it’s cold out. The hand guards are an added bonus. I don’t like the feeling of riding with gloves... it kills my dexterity. I don’t mind thinner gloves that are form fitting, but they’re usually just not warm enough. This would be the perfect combination for me. And for $20, you can’t beat it. I’ll definitely be making this upgrade when I buy my 600 Touring. Thank you for sharing and for the great advice 👍

@@81volvo240 Check under the hood, I know on my 600 there's some hot points under there that are controlled by the key.

Have these held up well, still working after about a year?
I bought a heated body warmer for £25 Either by power bank or usb plug in.
