One of the accessories that will for sure be going onto my T7 is a set of hand grip warmers.
The cost of the OEM ones seems a tad high though, the grip kit + connector cable + spacer, together, after taxes here is $307
Why does this setup come in 3 separate pieces?
Are all 3 pieces necessary?
The connector cable is self explanatory... but
What is the spacer for? looking at the non heated oem grips, there is no spacer there?
Also, does anyone know the overall length of the oem heated and std grips?
A set of aftermarket grips I've used in the past (and which are installed on my current street bike) are the Koso Apollo heated grips (I've found these to be much better than the grips on my VFR-X that I had, toasty warm, 5 settings, easy install)
They come in a variety of sizes, I'm assuming for the T7 they would be the 7/8" bars, and 130mm long? (optionally they come in 120mm long, which was right right size for my current bike)
New, they are $106-116usd depending where you get them, so about $160cnd. Are the Yamaha ones worth it?
