And is that typical? I lived in North Carolina, and I'd say it only went into the 20's like 30-40 days a year.

And here in CA, the nights can be cold even in the middle of the summer. Not so in the South.

Regardless, I've never had a problem with the BACK of my hands. It's the palm and fingers that get cold with me, which is why heated grips work great.

Excellent question! I live in NC now and although some mornings it is that cold it doesn't stay that way long. We've had a cold winter though compared to most years.. It was 60 yesterday! :)

Yep and I rode from about 11am to 4 pm!!!!!! Other than some sandy spots it was fucking AWESOME!!!

I think you'll be fine. My heated grips keep most of my hand warm. It's the two fingers on each hand that stay out on the levers that freeze.

I commute all year long as long as there isn't snow and ice on the road. I've tried everything you can think of to keep warm. Started out with big insulated gloves. Then I added heated grips, which helped a ton, but my hands still got cold below 40F or so. Now I've moved on to a heated jacket/glove combo along with my heated grips and I can say without a doubt I should have done it sooner.

It was 23 this morning and with my heated jacket my body stays warm and the heated grips/gloves combo work together to keep my hands warm. The grips heat the bottom of your hand and the gloves heat the top side. Works like a charm.

I've got Warm & Safe heated gear, btw.

:rockwoot: Now add electric socks and it's like riding in a warm bath :lmao: But I feel like NEO in the matrix plugged into the bike like that

heated grips with hippo hands ftw

Heated jacket liner with glove plug-ins at the wrist.

I'm with Krabill on this one, should have done it years ago.

WTF is with you, "Don't like being wired to the bike people"? :lol:

What you think might happen?

Well I don't Like being wired to the Bike because I am a CLUTZ and likely to walk away breaking the wire. Which is not to say electric gears is not great ,, I am simply not comfortable with it for my application.

I walk away while connected all the time. :lol:

With the older SAE plugs, it was an issue, because those bastards DO NOT come apart easily. The newer "Barrel" style plugs, pop right out when you put some pressure on them.

On the Duc, I installed a small "waterproof" bulk-head connector in the side panel. Flip the trap door open, and plug in. I rewired my battery tender with a matching barrel connector, so I can plug that into the same spot, without fucking around with the seat, or dangling wires.
