i run my fan from the lites. its nice to turn it on only when i want too. i am sure the hand warmers draw less amps. you can also get big hand gards.

It's all good, I scrape the track before I ride anyways. Kinda hard to hit ramps in powder Haha

•Warm hands dont have to mean high price
•Units draw 36W each/3A with standard on/off switch
•Lighting system should be 75 watts or more for optimal performance
•Kit includes heat cartridges, grommets, insulation, on/off switch with tag and easy-to-read instructions


Looks like the lighting circuit will be right at the amount of juice required.

You heard wrong. if the snow gets traped in the radiator...it will melt.

We`ve been riding in the snow all winter every year and never have trouble...they run great in the cold air, and it makes the motors run cooler to, rads are super efficent in low temps.

a couple friends have them on there 450R and they work great...just don`t forget them on, they will kill the battery pretty quick.
