I think your research is correct, many here have reported problems, personally I like heated gloves that plug into the bike, they're warmer, plus I can use them on multiple bikes.

I think that was just on the R3 Touring models Rainman went thru a few on his.

I have had the Triumph heated grips on my Roadster for the last 3 summers with no issue. I wonder if the dreaded broken tab isn't due to tensioning the cables too much. There should be a bit of free play in the push/pull cables. I love mine and use them a lot.

I'm with Tripps ,Heated gloves are much better.

Yes all the problems was with the r3t I would suggest a after market heated grips

i would think it would be the repetitive heating that would cause the failure. I have heated grip on mine but rarely use them. I worked in a meathouse for years and am use to have cold hands.

I have them installed on my '09. Haven't had any issues with the throttle tube breaking but the low setting stopped working after 1 season. I get caught in bad weather a lot so they get plenty of use.

I was replacing mine once a year luckily it would be just before the warranty would go out
