Looks like I'll have to install some heated grips ....

Hi Bob,
I've used those inexpensive heated grip kits and they work well. Some have a single circuit printed, others have two circuits, for high and low. I did notice the right side would always warm up fastest and be hotter than the left side.
I figured the handlebar was acting as a heat sink, while the right side had the throttle tube to insulate it from the bar.
I ended up gluing one of those plastic sleeves that used to come with foam grips (like Grab-On grips) onto the bar first, then sticking the heating pad onto it. I would then have to use another throttle side grip on the fatter left end.

(BTW, I see you have a 1200 Sport. Let me know if you need a printed Shop Manual).

Yo, Pekingduck ..... the last kit I used had the two circuits, instead of simply shunting current to create a low temp grip. I actually installed a throttle sleeve on the left side so as not to have a heat sink (handle bar) absorbing heat. Your idea is better and less expensive. Had to pop rivet the throttle sleeve to the handlebar to keep it from turning! Has worked nicely on the Guzzi for several years.

Thanks for the offer of a printed manual for the 1200 Sport. I found one on line a few years back, and downloaded it to my computer, so I can pull up whatever info I need.
