I've posted before on this, I think, but now I'm thinking again. The bike is outfitted with windshield, lower guards on the crash bars and hand protectors. I'm good to about 50 degrees or so, but then my fingers get cold. I'm wearing good insulated gloves, but it ain't enough below 45. I've been resisting buying heated grips cause I like it simple, but on another site, another rider is advocating for heated gloves. Specificaly, "Sedici" heated gloves from "Cycle Gear". $120 on sale. I'm not crazy about being "plugged in", but my hands are the only thing stopping me from riding in colder temps. I've read some stuff and the general consensus is that heated grips don't work near as well as heated gloves. But, how much trouble is it? A small cord plugs into the glove and from there, I suppose, up through the sleeve of your jacket, down your torso, around your butt and into an aux plug under the seat. It seems to me that every time you got off the bike, you have to remember to "umplug" yourself, and I can see me forgetting and tearing out the cord and jack when I forget. Any thoughts or insight on this?
