Buell XB Forums / Buell XB Forum / Buell Blast / Able to power Heated Grips?

Posted:  27 Aug 2007 23:47 [?]  
Is the Blast electrical system able to power a set of heated grips without problems?

I have the kind of heated grips where you stick the heating element to the bar/throttle, and then put the grips over top installed on my Kawasaki KLR.

Can the Blast handle that same kind of setup?

The sort of thing I want to put on is like this:

Says that it's a 12-volt system & draws 36 watts.

If my math is right that should be only 3 Amps or so, I don't think that it would be any big problem for its' charging system.  Give BPG a shout, he might have access to the books that give the electrical systems specs. Also I believe that His and Hers used to have a pair of Blasts.  Good Luck

The factory charging system is good enough to support heated grips with no worries.  Let us know how the install goes

Good to know.  thanks for the help!  I'll do the install when I get some time and let you know how it works out.
