Great option, great quality
I live in Canada and heated grip are not a luxury. It allows me to use my motorcycle a few additional months. These grips are great quality, easy to install and offers allot of heat settings to make my hands comfortable at any temperature. At first I thought there was to many levels and didn't think I'd use them, but I was wrong, on a cold morning just a few degrees are enough before the sun does the rest, chiliy afternoon a few degrees more... nice! In my opinion, these could is OEM quality.

Was the one you received as per Image?
Grip is Slim and good.
Was the installation difficult?
Left Side Grip is difficult to install. How do we get there?" I struggled with it for about 15 minutes. I hit it with a board and tapped it in with a plastic hammer, but the Motorcycle shop advised me not to do it as much as possible because it could be damaged.
How was your experience with it?
The product Single Body is warm, but it is even more effective if you use Knuckle guard, Cover, or other devices to protect it from the driving wind.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Everything was in place.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Sufficient performance is not a problem.

Required for Northeast Number.
The grip is so thin and natural that you don't even notice it has been replaced. View detail
I am very grateful for this season!
My other car is equipped with a Grip Seater at Standard Equipment, and in the middle of winter, I have been benefiting from it, so I installed it on SecondMotorcycle as well.
As a result, WW could be a little warmer.
I guess the performance is a consideration for Battery capacity, etc., but if I had my wish, I would prefer a little more warmth...
The product looks and feels completely comfortable to hold.
Having said that, I have been able to spend this winter more comfortably than if I had nothing on!

More than I expected…
I bought it for winter touring because I had some points left over and there was a discount campaign going on.
I can do electrical work and have replaced grips before, so I installed it myself.
Installation was easier than I expected, but it is safer to ask a store to do it if you are worried about the force required to press-fit the grips.
The key heat is effective at Plus temperatures, but not so effective at Minus temperatures. Well, it is better than nothing.
I have a Honda 400X with Honda OEM hand guard, so it is not directly exposed to wind, but even so, the effect starts to diminish from about 3 degrees Celsius.
It is better than nothing, but when I experienced HondaOEM's Grip heater on the 400X I rented from LenBarrel at HondaDREAM before, it was so hot that I could not grip it even at high speed in the morning in the middle of winter, and 2 out of 3 levels was enough.
This product does not get that hot even at max. 5 levels.
It seems that the temperature differs depending on the Manufacturer, and KIJIMA-made products seem to be lower than those of other Manufacturers.
Power is supplied from Honda OEM power supply coupler ACC.
However, the grip is very good, so I will give it an overall rating of 3.
Good points:comfortable grip and easy to install.
Five levels allow for detailed settings depending on the situation.
The bad:Not as hot as expected.

On a 2011 CBR600RR.
I bought it because I didn't want to do thick Gloves in the winter.
The installation was done by Webike's Support store with direct shipping.
In the case of the CBR600RR, I gave up on it myself because it is Large strange to remove the FI side of the Accelerator Wire.
I have used it and it heats up so much that it is hot at the strongest Level.
My wish to use thin Gloves in winter was fulfilled as long as I warmed the back side of my hand from time to time.
There is no possibility of mishandling during Blinker operation.
