Installed Heat Demon pads yesterday without too much difficulty... This is great news. Can you clarify (link) which Heat Demon product you used? Cheers.

fj09viking Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The model is Heat Demon 210019RR. I purchase mine on Amazon.ca, but if you just Google the model you should have plenty of options. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fj09viking Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Update and caveat. I rode to work in 32F temp today. Only a 20 min ride doing 75-80mph mostly on hwy, and my hands stayed nice and toasty using medium heat setting (with crappy gloves). Very happy, because my hands were cold by the time I got to work last week in in 45-47F temperatures. Caveat is that this my first experience with heated grips so I do not have anything to compare too. What I can say with a fair amount of certainty certainty albeit minimal exposure, is that I will not own a bike without heated grips again in the foreseeable future!

The wire colors are representative of the grip heating elements (red, white, and blue), the positive from the bike (Yellow/Blue), and the ground from the bike (black). As you can see, you connect the white wires from both heating elements to the yellow/blue wire from the bike, and then you connect the red and blue wires from both heating elements to the ground from the bike. Living here in the great white north, it gets cold, damn cold. Heated grips are a must but there's no way I'm spending $400 CAD on heated grips. I like your idea of the Heat Demons (I've put them on a few bikes too and had good luck) so Duke, if I understand your logic, you purchased a couple of bullet-style connectors also and worked as follows: Spliced the white wires from both grips together. Connected them to the bullet connector (black) bike-side with the blue-yellow wire. Spliced the red and blue wires from both grips together. Connected those to the bullet connector (grey) bike-side with the black wire. Am I following the logic? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member piotrek Posted October 22, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted October 22, 2019 @Duke... did you mean yellow-red rather than yellow-blue?... i.e. Heat Demon elements wired in parallel, connected between yellow-red and black? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is the yellow and red. Scratched my head for about 30 seconds as well and apologize for not mentioning in my earlier post. Different wire colors for different years maybe? Mine is a '17.

Maybe @Duke will be able to update the post to collate all the relevant information into the first post. Or maybe someone else will write up a new version with pics. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Im glad things worked out. As for the thanks, I’m just returning one of the many favors I’ve received over the years. It feels good to be able to do that. 3 Old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fj09viking Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Had a chance to ride with some lighter, thinner gloves and the uneven heat is definitely noticeable, but not enough for me to consider it an issue. Besides, my throttle hand tends to get colder than my clutch hand anyway so it all works out! Edited October 29, 2019 by fj09viking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Guys, I like the effort you did to make this work. Do you think this idea can work to control Gerbing heated gloves and jacket? I want to buy them but I am trying to find a better way for the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, my throttle hand tends to get colder than my clutch hand anyway so it all works out! Seconding @fj09viking. I set mine up over the weekend and the instructions in this thread worked like a charm. Purchased the Heat Demon 210019RR set and some Fleabay Yammy turn signal connectors to wire things up (hint: if you use the ones I did, the turn signal connector is the BLACK wire on both to connect to the correct bike-side connectors on the 2015MY). Gives access to the OEM menu system to run the grips and a finished OEM appearance. Grips are a little uneven clutch-side due to the missing insulation (only used the heatshrink) but they sure do get HOT! Dialed back the settings to 3/5/7 and things were nice n' toasty on my test-ride at around 5 degrees C.
