Boog, really good to hear the batt is good. I wasn't able to start despite a constant tender plus under 53 degrees, until I bought the scorpion batt. Took a chance in opting for the new stock batt. Ever hear of Hippo Hands? I ride thru winter too (not in snow or Ice tho). They are cheap & amazing!!

I have heard of them but have not ridden with any. Maybe I should get a set to augment my heated gloves which only work down to about 20 degrees or so. Several of the colder days made it tough to get to work this winter.

Boog, heated gloves sound great. Never had any, except for those cheap cloths that heat up w exposure to air. They saved me on some cold mountain rides lost at night. Anyone get the heated grips, any good?

 

[Fishbein]

IDK, so the heated grips don't get that hot then?

 

[Fishbein]

IDK, thanks for the advice. Strapped for $ right now (recently got a new car as well), but might be a wise future investment!
