New stuff!
Just want to thank the folks at Value Accessories. Ordered some ISO-GRIPS for Goldwing heated grips and a right side ISO-TROTTLE Boss. Also got a couple of Echo Quick release for our helmets. Ordered on Thursday or Friday and got them on Tuesday. The tips on the website about installing them were very handy, especially the one about using a rag and hose clamp and working the rubber into the groves. Computer glitch(me) isn't allowing me to access the pictures on my phone yet. I'll get back with them. The install of the grips was really easy and the chrome with black rubber is nice. My big arthritic hands are going to like these.

I've been considering these also. Could you please comment on their ability to still transfer the heat? Thanks.

I have the ISO grips
The primary thing I like about them is their girth. I have arthritic hands, and with these I can hold the grips with my thumb on top.
As far as the heat - you do lose some. If you have these grips and put the grip heaters on High, they'll get about as warm as they would on Low without the grips. Of course, I live in Alabama so it's not a big issue. And, when you wear gloves you're insulating yourself from some of the heat anyway.

Jetfixer, I have not tried the heated grips. I have never used them in the 2+years I've had it. I will try it today and post results. robmorg, thanks for the picture. I am awful with that stuff! I will take your offer seriously. overhillandDale, arthritis is the main reason I got them. Had thicker ones on my Goldwing and liked them. They were foam and chrome. I like these better and the throttle piece is much like the clamp on Cramp Buster. The cruise control is nice on the highway but not so much on secondary roads. I think for me the smaller hand rest would not be as good. I like the Contour size. I also got a clamp on "Drink 2 Go for the wife that goes on the passenger grip. I'll get pics up of that to. Easy on off so no worries of theft when parked.

I have them on my bike! They don't get as warm as the stock grips, but to me is worth it not having to look at those anemic stock grips! I don't ride when is cold and if it gets a little chilly I put on my gloves! You might not feel comfortable with them if you have small hands!

I just tried the heated grips. I have no comparison because in 2 years I never used them. It is 52 degrees out. I went up the road about 1/2 a mile and back with no gloves. Before I got to the road the rubber and chrome were warming. By the time I got back, 3 to 5 minutes tops with idling and then riding, it seemed really good to bare hands. I don't notice the cool/cold much anyway but my hands are arthritic and these grips feel really good and the heat would be adequate for me, especially with gloves on.

I have them on my RT Takes a little longer to heat up but they still work.
Here's a tip: use a 1" piece of 1" pvc pipe as a filler. The new grips will be longer
and if you don't use a filler the rubber will push in.

I think you also answered my next question! If they are that much longer, than I guess that I would not be able to use my Lid Lox with them?

There is a LidLix for these - get the ones for the jury alum ISO grips.

FYI - A dealer broke one of my grips by pushing the bike by the ends of the grips. Since there's nothing underneath them, one end snapped.
I fixed the b\problem with the ends being weak and with the rubber ends sinking inside the grips with a small pipe. Here's where I posted about it.
