Got myself the oxford velcro on grips they are good warm as toast but do make the grips a little bulky.

Also got a ex02 heated wiast belt great bit of kit and only paid £24 on ebay.
if anything the cable could be a touch longer or made from flexi cable:scooter:

I've only seen the two pictures. I'm betting this heater was a gimick and the Squadies soon failed to see the joke?

Maybe it worked though? Anyone got a garden hose and an hour of two spare?

I went to the Space Centre in Leicester the other day.One thing that I saw was an undersuit worn by astronaughts to keep them cool.It looked like a one piece set of thermals covered in thin plastic pipe which water flowed through.If you can use cold water to keep you cool then you can use warm water to keep you err warm.So long as you have a liquid cooled bike just pipe it in with some sort of quick release connector and away you go.

Silvermans used to have the ones V-bomber crews were supposed to wear. I heard they leaked!

Some of the Thumper club guys met a chap in Germany who'd fitted a heat exchanger onto a watercooled yam. At least that way if the suit leaks the bike coolant stays where it is. There was also talk of a ready supply of boiled sausages, but I can't remember if that was another guy with a washing machine sized alternator belt driven off the sidecar wheel!

A vest made of boiled sausages!?
 
How long it keeps warm?
I have an Exo2, made of... I don't know, but it's not sausages I have no idea about what watts or volts consumes but keeps you warm and its not so bulky. I think its great but it is the only one I've ever tried.
