Not with foam grips but I put a set on an '06 V Max and a set on my '09 Spyder, both with stock grips....the heaters on the V Max seemed considerably warmer than the Spyder ones, in fact the high setting was often too warm. I'm thinking the foam grips would make them even less effective on a Spyder.
They're a nice heater tho and easy to install. I'm think some guards to block the wind would be a nice compliment to them.

Coz, I've used the symtecs under the factory grip as wall as over the factory grips with foam covers. I must say I prefer the second method of under the foam grip covers. I believe the elements just work better this way since you don't waist most of the heat trying to keep the metal bars warm. They did work under the factory grips but not like I wanted them to. I've been using the "under the foam method" for a couple of years on my Royal Star without any problems. :thumbup:
