    I've always regretted not having heated grips fitted when I bought the Tiger but, as always, the cost was adding up and I thought I would manage without. Three winters in and I realise my mistake!

    I have Keiss heated inner gloves, which work well but you are somewhat tangled in wires (they attach to the heated body warmer) and are a bit of a faff and a pain on short journeys as a result. Retro fitting Triumph heated grips is a bit pricey as the Tiger is ride by wire so not any old grips will do.

    Bring on the £12.99 bargain from Amazon! Basically these wrap around your bar and attach with velcro. You then need to plug into a USB socket and away you go. They are of course on or off but they can easily be removed swapped onto another bike.

    The wire connection looks a bit weak so I cable tied that around the bars to stop any pulling on it. Tiger bars are 1" so fit is a bit tight, so another cable tie sorted that.

    Heat is a gentle warm rather than baking hot but it's enough to keep the chill off. Currently wearing normal gloves and very happy! :cool::cool:

    PS. They're now £11.99!
