I very seldom wear gloves which causes me to wear the grips out quickly. The left grip has already been worn smooth on the back side at 14000 miles. The heated grips are expensive! I used grip puppies on my Wing but hate the thickness and the heat reduction they cause. I bought this and put it on a few days ago, love it so far. No heat reduction and looks great. I hope it lasts but it is inexpensive. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/282707170369

While the heat shrink looks good, the other looks better, however the other is rubber and does not breath as good as the heat shrink. I'm leaning towards the heat shrink.

I have had my SVTC now for only about 4 weeks! (just now sending my first payment) I activated my navigation system and it had been working fine up until this past weekend. When I tried setting a destination it is getting hung on just searching never getting started. I must hit the home button...
