RE: [ST] Heated Grip Relay



Any standard 12VDC automotive type relay should work.  Auto parts stores and 
Radio Shack sell them - I just bought one for turning on the amps in my 
truck.  The grip circuit doesn't need it's own relay, but it's nice to have 
when you forget to turn the heat off and the bike sits outside for 10 hours 
while you're in the office....

By the way, heated grips, Gerbing and all the other cold weather gear I have 
couldn't get me on the bike this morning.  Really blustery, icy and -12 C in 
NJ.....
