Heated grips question
Has anyone purchased the 'new' oem grip heaters (08T50-mge-000) on Samurider? It says they fit 2010-2016 but the model number differs from what some have installed here which is:

08T50-MGE-101 - Honda Heated Grip Kit
08T70-MGC-D30 - CB1100 DLX attachment kit

My real question is whether the attachment kit shown above will also work with the 08T50-mge-000?

Cant find definitive answer anywhere.

Thanks The ferret

I have the the same grip heater kit from Samurider ready to install on my bike and it came with an attachment kit (not at home to verify part number). It was the best bundled value I found online and thus why I bought that version from Mr. T. He didn't mention any incompatibility issues with U.S. spec bikes....

FWIW, the current part number for "Heated Grips" on the Honda site ends in -C10 and claims to be a new and improved design with smaller controls and grip diameter. The part number for the attachment kit now ends in -C31.

Could it be that the -101 and -000 parts are for the original grip heater kit and represent the same parts but from different markets and the -C10 kit is actually the newest version? Even if that is true, I would think the attachment kits are interchangeable because connectivity shouldn't have changed....

RE: Heated grips question
what is the "attachment kit"? Isn't it all just one heated grip kit?

RE: Heated grips question
No, the grips are the same for all bikes. The attachment kit is for specific bikes and allows you to connect them to the bike for power. If a grip fails, you just get new grips and you don’t have to buy another attachment kit.

I think the attachment kit has the controller too, but can’t remember.

The left grip has a button that turns them on and off and selects one of 3 heat levels.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

I'll report back on this shortly... Hoping to fit mine this coming week.

There's a lot of lessons learned here on the forum to clarify the instructions and now that I have experience pulling the tank; I'm hoping it wont' be too bad.

RE: Heated grips question
was thinking of getting the dealer to install these on my new 2017ex before I take delivery. Has anyone gone that route and can you say approximately how much damage (parts and labor) I can expect? thanks

RE: Heated grips question
I checked into the parts....
$360ish plus shipping @ Babbits online. They offer a couple discount codes when you order then wait a bit. They will check back wondering why you didn't complete the order then offer a discount. 12%.
Labor? $$. There is a member that recently did this ... might get an idea how much time. Hourly shop rate I reckon varys where you are. Last I checked here it was in the $90 an hour range.

Did you read my update notes on installing the grips on my 2017 EX?

http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7350

I'd guess three hours labor for someone who had done the job before. But note my reservations about paying someone else to do the job. It's a fiddly piece of work, with plenty of places for screwups and sloppy shortcuts if someone doing the job doesn't really care. The Honda instructions are very specific, even to the point of indicating the exact locations of wire ties.

Maybe you prefer not to do the work yourself, but I recommend giving it some thought before you have a dealer tech do it.
