Perfect Installation

I just successfully installed my new Symtec grip heaters.

Last year I intalled a 12v cigarette lighter adapter for XM Radio/phone charger/etc. I just tapped into the power and ground wires.

Removing the grips took about 15 seconds. I took some starter fluid and sprayed it around the edge of the grips. They slid right off. I used the starter fluid to reapply the grips and it worked perfectly. After 30 seconds, the grips were super tight.

Installation took about an hour. Could be done in half that time if you were really in a hurry.

Flipped the switch and Voila! HEAT!!!

I'm going to go for a ride in a little while to try them out. It's about 45 degrees right now, so I'm sure I'll feel the benefits.

Thanks to everyone that provided info prior to my purchase. It helped make me a confident buyer and installation was a snap.
