I waited a few weeks to review this product so I could give it a good test first. The chrome switch housing seems to be good quality and it looks good in place of the stock piece. The good aspects are that the grips heat up quickly to about 155 degrees on handlebar. This translates to about 85 degrees on the outside of the grip itself in 30 degree weather. The longer I kept my gloved hand on the grip, the hotter the grip became. The grip peaked at about 115 degrees. This became about 90 degrees on my hands through my very thick winter gloves. More than enough heat. The bad aspects of this product is the way the diode is connected. There is a diode that feeds both grips. The diode is connected to the wires with a very flimsy crimp connection. As soon as you apply any pressure or pull on the cables, the crimp comes rite off the diode. It is also held onto 1 heater with some cheasy silicone. I soldered both wires crimps onto the diode and then encased it in heat shrink tubing. Also, be careful if you have run your wires through the handlebars, like I did. If you put the stock wires through your bars, the new wires will get really cramped inside the bars. I cut the heat demons wires as short as possible and carefully pushed them in to the bars. They just barely fit.
