◇This is Honda's original left and right set of half-round grip heaters that use alloy stainless steel (SUS) as the heating element. ◇The battery voltage monitoring system is built in to protect your vehicle by automatically stopping the power supply to the "Grip Heater" when the voltage drops.
■Development concept Honda's "grip heaters" have been developed with the priority of being as "close" as possible to the grips used on Honda motorcycles.In the development of Honda motorcycles, the importance of grips for accelerator operation, clutch and brake operation is high, and a variety of materials and thicknesses have been considered.Removing such important grips and installing "grip heaters" as an optional accessory can lead to a risk of anxiety for the user in order to obtain comfort.Therefore, Honda R&D Center, Inc. has made an effort to realize the same characteristics of the rubber material used in Honda motorcycles and the same thickness as possible.Honda R&D Center, which develops Honda's srtock products, believes that the ultimate "grip heater" is a grip that cannot be recognized when it is installed on a Honda motorcycle.
Honda's stock grip heater is a product developed jointly by Honda R&D Center, Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. which is strong in electric systems such as headlights, and Mitsubishi Cable Industries, Ltd. which is strong in research and development of electric systems and wiring systems in the automobile industry.
The "grip heater" developed by Honda today was developed as a genuine Honda product through repeated installation tests on Honda motorcycles, focusing on not affecting handling stability while giving maximum consideration to the rider's usability and other factors.In addition, Honda's "grip heaters" are designed to be gentle, with maximum consideration given to power consumption.The maximum power consumption is 18W (28W for the all-round type), which is almost the same level of power consumption as that of motorcycle blinkers and makes it possible to generate heat.This allows for a more comfortable motorcycle life with less impact on the motorcycle itself.
There are two types of "grip heaters" sold by Honda: the "half-circle type" with the heating element affixed to half the circumference of the inner piece and the "full-circle type" with the heating element wrapped around the entire circumference.Each of these is available as a stock accessory to suit the purpose and use of the motorcycle.The "half-round type" is mainly for scooters and business models that are not expected to travel for a long time, while the "full-round type" is for medium and large sports models that are used for long-distance travel such as touring.
Honda's "grip heater" comes with a "controller" that controls the temperature on all models.This "controller" is compact, yet water resistant and easy to operate, and as a motorcycle manufacturer, it is designed to meet the needs of motorcycle riders.In particular, the temperature setting has been determined by various test riders through a series of tests to find the best possible temperature that the rider can feel while riding.The features are as follows.
1. The PUSH type switch is adopted to ensure that it can be operated with a gloved left hand. 2. The switch system is a rotary type, and it is possible to set the temperature to OFF and 5 levels by PUSH operation. 3. The digital control system allows the maximum temperature to be adjusted according to the rider's feeling (80 degrees or more on the right and left sides: when using 12V) It is possible to adjust the temperature in 5 stages, decreasing the temperature in 20% intervals from. 4. 3 LED indicators allow you to easily and reliably check the temperature level at any time of the day or night. 5. Built-in battery voltage monitoring system automatically stops power supply to the "Grip Heater" when the battery voltage drops.The LED indicator flashes to indicate an automatic shut-off state, and the LED indicator lights up when the system starts up again to indicate a restart.This system reduces the effect of low voltage on the motorcycle itself.
■Heating element The basic structure of the "grip heater" is that a heating element is built into the handlebar grip and the heat is generated by energizing (passing electricity through) it.The basic structure is that a heating element is installed in the outer circumference of the inner piece (inner pipe) and covered with a rubber material.
And, in the "grip heater", three factors, "sufficient temperature", "temperature rise in a short time", and "appropriate heat point" are important points.The material of the heating element is an important factor in realizing these points.The "grip heaters" sold since the 1970s used "Ni-Cr" (nickel-chrome wire) or "FPC (Flexible Print Circuit)" as heating elements.However, the Ni-Cr wire has two disadvantages: "it takes a long time from the start of operation to reach the set temperature" and "it is difficult to set the heat spot (heat generation at a specified point)".This is a stressful time for a motorcyclist, even with comfortable equipment.In addition, although the FPC has no problem in terms of the rise time to the set temperature and the heat spot setting, it has a disadvantage that it is weak against pressure.This is a major problem for the circular shape of the grip heater, and is a major factor in the failure of the grip heater.
In order to improve the corrosion resistance, the alloy stainless steel SUS (Stainless Used Steel) was introduced.The SUS used in Honda's grip heaters is extremely thin at 0.1 mm thick, and the width of the band is doubled to minimize the risk of wire breakage even when it is bent to fit the shape of the grip.In addition, the thickness of the grip can be made thinner due to the improvement of molding, and the grip can be closer to the standard grip (non-heater equipped) on Honda motorcycles.
A comparison test of "the temperature rising time" between "the grip heater" using SUS and "the grip heater" using FPC showed that the SUS type reached the maximum temperature (saturation temperature) in half the time compared to the FPC type.In other words, Honda's grip heater, which uses SUS, considers the rider's feelings first as a stock motorcycle accessory, and allows the rider to feel warmth in a very short time after starting the engine (by turning on the grip heater) in cold weather, enabling comfortable riding right from the start of riding. It has become possible to realize comfortable riding right from the start of driving.

Points of Attention
* If there may be an instruction manual included, it will be written in Japanese.
Although I was doing Handlebar Cover as a countermeasure against cold, as long as the temperature dropped to below freezing, I felt faint in running for a long time, so I decided to install a Grip heater. However, SUPER CUB's Handlebar is Quantity : Pair (for Left and Right) Since the outer diameter of the same is inevitable, inevitably selecting a correct item. It was for LITTLE CUB, but it also supports C50, C70, C90
【attachment】 - Because it is a special item, the installation only branches from the Harness in the Headlight and the Instruction Manual can also be worked by myself because the Illustration is carefully drawn. The troublesome thing is to remove Handlebar Cover and Harness' s handling, Harness in Light is exhausted mentally - Right SideGrip was Exactly so it would not move even without painting Bond, but Left SideGrip was loose as a Gaba Cover so we wound an Aluminum Tape and adjusted it. Left Side also Bond unused - Because the amount of Harness in Headlight increases, we took Tachometer's power from a different place and reduced the amount of Harness and exchanged power supply - Finally, to suppress wear and tear of the Grip cover the shrinking Cover and finish
【Driving】 Since Grip itself is a Universal Product, it is 14 mm longer than the Grip of SUPER CUB, the thickness is also 4. Size increased by 5 mm, Size became larger around Large, Cover to suppress wear of the Grip was also added and became thicker. Although it feels uncomfortable when you hold it, you get used to it while you are running The protruding part of the Harness extending from the Grip obstructed, it was difficult to push the Switch box switch, especially the Blinker switch was hard to operate - Since the heat rays are Grip heater of a half circumference type, only thumb is touched even if it grips, so only thumb is not warming cold - 3 ° C below freezing, raised the temperature output to the maximum Large and ran as high as 45 ° C.. However, the rate of rise in temperature is slow, it becomes dull from around 35 ° C, and the Battery protection function works every time it stops. Battery was sometimes weakened, but it was more efficient to warm up from the middle rather than making it the largest from the beginning
[Others] - Power consumption is 18 w for half-circumference type and 28 w for full circumference type. Battery protection function is 13. Grip heater stops when 1v or less - There is no Memory function in Grip heater, and setting of temperature is required every time key ON is required - Made in ... licking, Quantity : Pair (for Left and Right) At the temperature there is Rose mark, the temperature of RightGrip is slightly lowerView Detail
I installed it in the C90 but purchased a wrong item for LITTLE CUB. For LITTLE CUB, the Handlebar diameter of Left Side is Right Side (Throttle side) And that it is the same diameter so as to attach it to your C90 as it is, Left Side is loose so we coped with by winding a thin Aluminum board and making it the same diameter as the Throttle side. Wiringetc. I could easily connect while watching the Service Manual. Although it is actually impression after installation, it was cold with only Handlebar Cover until now but in the morning time zone of midwinter it was painful even if cold air entered from the clearance, but very good with the exceptional warmth with Heater combination doing. One disappointment is that the diameter of the Grip becomes thick, so it is difficult to operate Throttle to grasp the Brake lever.View Detail
