Yeah I see what you're saying. What I'm mostly worried about is it already almost runs my late for work some days just getting on the jacket, helmet, plug in mp3 player, and gloves at the house, then take the gloves off, unplug mp3 player, and helmet off at McD's to grab a McMuffin. Only to put it all back on and finish the ride to work, and then take it all off again. I'm thinking more wires will just be too much.

McMuffin ... yea ... gotta have that. OK clown you live in SC, WTF you need any warm clothing for I dunno.
And Mp3 player ... yes you need that, for sure. How about you buy this nice prevost bus they got and you're all set.
Cool.

Lol. I'm from Florida..so yeah as far as I'm concerned it gets cold as shaZam! here. Hahaha!! And yeah the music is a must commuting an hour from Spartanburg to York every day. I go crazy and start arguing with my self about the second day without music. And WTF a "prevost bus" I swear you lose me sometimes Srinath. If your talking about the motor-couches hell yeah. I'm gonna sell my house and buy one of those when I retire.

I used to have a bunch of heated gear, it wasn't too bad. You leave the wire hanging out from under the seat and just plug in when you sit on the bike. If you would crash, or forget to unplug when you get off the bike the plug just pulls out, it doesn't hold that tight. They work great, but heated grips are super convenient.

The heat shrink is a great idea! I'll try that idea first. Wish I hadn't already stuck the heating element on. Hopefully it's still sticky enough.

The only other downside to the heated gloves I had, is that they were just gloves, they didn't have the knuckle protectors and stuff like normal gloves, plus they were thicker. The benefit to heated grips is that they actually work better with thin gloves so the heat gets through. I'm hoping to pair those up with some hand guards so the wind stays off the of back of my hands, as well as the levers. My left hand used to always start freezing when I had to hold the clutch lever in waiting at lights and what not.

Yeah I'm thinking about hand gaurds too. Only thing is I think they'd hit the fairing on my bike, so I may have to wait till I pull the bars back some more. The winter gloves I'm using now are pretty thick with no extra protection even though they're cycle gloves.
