Hello was looking at the arctic cat acc. catalog and noticed it showed 2 differnt grip warmers , anyone have experiance with either of these? one says it has a thumb warmer? how does that work? Its been really cold here lately and my hands got cold even with hand guards! How difficult was the installation?

 

you can buy just the hand warmers or the thumb warmer or both, witch is what you want.
the warmers are sweet i have hand and thumb warmers on my cat and hand gaurds and my hands are never cold.
the thumb warmer is the best beacuse it keeps your thumb from freezing cause when your thumb starts to get cold you start thinking about heading back to the truck then the rides over and that sucks.
the more comfortable the ride the longer it lasts and the more fun you have.
live to ride and ride as often as possable.

 

P.S. it took me about an hour and a half to install both.
just follow the instructions and it shouldent be a problem.

 

I installed the kit, both hand and thumb warmers, and its works well..only one problem, be very carful with the thumb warmer, its very easy to break it. Its made out of a brittle circuit board type stuff, and it wont bend far, before breaking. I tried to get it to form fit, the back side of the thumb, and it broke. Only the low side is broke, so now i have high only.

 

Hey thanks for the response, one more question , how does the thumb warmer attach and what does it look like? Does it stay on permanent?

 

its held on with heatshrink.
and yes it on permanent.
unless you cut it off.

 

I have the AC hand and thumb warmers on both mine and the wifes four wheeler, keeps you toasty warm when its cold. The thumb warmer sticks on the front side of the throttle facing backwards so that it heats through the throttle lever to your thumb. Then it is heat shrunk on to the throttle lever, looks good to if you do it right. The thing that took me the longest was figuring where i wanted to run the wires through the body, after that its gravy and that wasnt too bad.

 

WOW thats quit the picturs you have there okbow68.
nice jumps both of you.
my first thought was there beating the crap out them.
then i thought about how i ride mine, and its not much differant.
i go through any mud hole over all the rocks deep snow creeks, and i said thats probly just as hard on the thing,and if it brakes i fix it oh well.
like i said befor nice pics.

 

Thanks for the compliment, thats not how they are usually ridden, as a matter of fact that was back in july when they were new havent been jumped again, on purpose anyway.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
