Heated grips and radio


BarOne

Recommended Posts

Couple of questions for the Board. My heated grips ('05 RT) do not heat evenly. The right grip feels much warmer than the left when on high. Is this normal -- dealer says so but I have not seen this commented on before.

 

Also, my bike has the factory wiring and speakers for the BMW factory radio/cd player. I am wondering if these items are worth seeking and installing. Are they quality items? Can they be installed after the bike is built? I never see used ones advertised -- why is that and where might I find them?

 

I have an autocom system on the bike.

 

Thanks in advance, folks.

RE: The heat, to a certain extent yes its normal. The left side is more directly connected to the metal bar that conducts some heat away than the right, which is mounted to a rotating plastic sleeve.

 

RE: The radio, in my opinion it's not worth it. You will get much better sound for less $$ by going the XM radio/MP3 player/Small FM pocket unit or similar with in-helmet or earbud speakers. And you'll better protect your hearing to boot.
