Haven't installed yet, but a cheap Chinese set from ebay. Takes a month or so to get here, but I bought a set as a backup.

I'd be interested to know of they have different heat levels for the throttle side and clutch side.  The Symtec ones do to account for one side being the plastic throttle and the other side being the metal handlebar.

Mine would be to go over OEM heated grips, should they fail, so there is plastic for both sides. I suppose some heatshrink tubing on the metal side would help a bit. A wirewound ceramic resistor would take care of the excess heat on one side.

I'm a big fan of Oxford Heaterz.  Once you see the quality of those, many others just don't cut it.  The digital controller is a very nice bit too.  It has about 4 heat ranges.  They are very effective (hot) and draw so little current that they work well on old airheads with their marginal alternators.
