Hot hands for her on the back!
« on: July 08, 2011, 11:27:24 PM »
She does get cold hands in the winter or at night and she was jealous of my lovely toasty hands whist riding so I decided to do something about it.

Oxford products make a range of keep you warm gear  including these  http://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCQQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oxprod.com%2Findex.php%3Fpg%3D3%26action%3Ddept%26id%3D30%26pid%3D175&ei=XuQXTv35EoPcmAXM8934Dw&usg=AFQjCNEFDNVXwDANPDzv159_gABm71JHjQ

Very easy to install and easy to remove when she isn't on the back. She has two heat settings warm/hot using a simple three way waterproof switch with two colour led indicator light red/green.

Wired through an in line fuse to a live wire when the ignition is on (to eliminate the possibility of being left on and flattening the battery) is a piece of cake. The whole process took 20 mins and gained me ++++ points for being to considerate  ;)

Nicely done.  Too bad my wife don't go ride with me.  Oh well, I will just have to bring my girlfriends.

Interesting idea, but when my wife is on the back she's usually holding onto me not the grab bars. Couldn't you have just gotten her some heated gloves?
