Kuryakyn Grips on the RT (with heat)

[Bob Denman]

Question: Do these beauties get warm enough when you poke some electricity at the heated grips underneath??

[smartin436]

I for sure lost some heat after the mod...........they do still get warm enough for me......bear in mind though.....I live on the gulf coast, not New York.
Other than that, great mod, they are very fat, I have big hands they feel great to me. I also put the throttle boss on the right side.....i like it too......

I found that the heat transfer using the high setting with these shells over the stock grips is approximately equivalent to the heat you will feel using the low settings on your stock grip. If you need more than this level of heat then these clamshell grips are not for you.

It should also be mentioned that it takes a tad longer for the heat transfer to be felt through these grip covers.

Personally I have found the heat adequate for my needs, but only because I found the high setting on my stock grips was a touch too hot for my liking.

Hope this helps.

My husband put mine on yesterday and he used a hose clamp to help with the installation said it helped immensely!!! They work and feel and look great on there!

I have one very dumb question, the grinding that Lamont speaks of, is that on the ISO Grip or actually on the paddle shifter?

It is on the paddle shifter. When you mount the clam shell you will see where it hits. Take a rotary tool and shave it until the shifter no longer hits the grip flange. Take it slowly and do it in stages. I did it two years back and everything is good.

Just an FYI the iso grips for non heated replacements come in gloss black (non clam shell) and are made to install after the spyder grips are removed.

I lost some of the heat too, but now that i moved to Florida, i guess I have to think about a/c grips!
