      Think I need to ride the TDR more, but in this weather a set of heated grips would be very nice!

      Has anyone bought a set of heated grips that work with the dual throttle cables on these bikes?

      If I can't find any that appear to work, I'll be tempted to get something like these cheap heated hand pads for underneath the normal grips.

          Maybe if you're rocking a TDR 250 :winking_face:

          20 miles on the motorway sees my hands near frozen by the end, no matter what gloves I seem to use.

              In my experience you need good handguards to go with heated grips, as they only heat the inside of your hand while the back still gets blasted by the wind. Heated gloves are more expensive and a bit of a faff but much better.

              I should think any heated grips will work, plenty of bikes have dual cables these days and have no issues I'm aware of.

              Current bikes:
              DT125X '07
              Street Triple R '11
              Aprilia ETV1000 '02

              Previous:
              DR650RSE '96
              FJ1200 '92

                Yeah, cant see why dual cables should matter 🙂

                Handguards will help some, as will muffs. But its still an improvement without. I use mine a lot, also during cool summernights ect.

                I like oxford heated grips "adventure" model. Grips are larger than normal grips, but I actually like them like that. I have them on 2 bikes, 1 beeing the Dt125.
