All 12- Honda Grip Heaters Goldcrown44, 5/27/2020 at 5:26 PM I don't suppose you documented the grip change and wiring to the new heated version? Seriously wanting that Honda heat before Autumn. I didn’t document anything but there is a detailed…
- How do you have your pillion configured? Rear carrier and seat. Those little loops under the seat for tie-downs have saved me a lot of trouble.
- Honda Grip Heaters Yes, it is the same part the deluxe models use. The hardest part of the install was figuring out how to loosen the throttle cable to replace the right hand grip.
- Honda Grip Heaters I installed the 08t70-mjm-a01 on my standard model a few years ago. It has 5 levels and connects right into the wiring harness.

- NYC to ATL road trip 11 hours ago, bobbyn This is all excellent stuff. I will be shopping online with my morning coffee. One more question: will the the 8th gen charging system handle plugging in my phone while riding? I ask because I tried…
- Interesting Fuel Stats. I ran 87 octane exclusively this year after re-read my owners manual and noticed that 87 is all it needs. I haven’t experienced any degradation of performance or any pre-detonation at any RPM. Last year, after I made…
- Interesting Fuel Stats. 43 minutes ago, GatorGreg Thanks for the stats Grum. To what do you attribute your 8th gen's better fuel efficiency? Also, is your standard octane in Australia 91? Or do you guys have a different rating system? Here in…
