Those things work.Skinz heated brake lever. Since they are going out of business I found one of the last ones and grabbed it.

Hopefully it keeps my left digits happy next year
Be careful when loading sleds without gloves, it will burn your finger.
I ran mine on a separate lighted switch.

Are guys driving with fingers on the brake handle? Im not understanding what is the need for a handle heated that I don't hang on to.

I rest my index finger on the brake when riding through the twisties or when I am right behind someone. I don't keep it there in the straight stretches.Are guys driving with fingers on the brake handle? Im not understanding what is the need for a handle heated that I don't hang on to.

Even though I grew up riding dirt bikes and out of habit I cover the brake lever with one finger, sometimes two whenever I am anywhere near a corner (if I see a corner, even if it is in the distance I am already covering the lever), I am not sure I need a heated lever. Even in the twisties where I have it covered constantly, I am not putting any pressure on it, just having a finger there is enough. Dunno. Probably best I have never tried on based on the price.

Guys who learn on street bikes first tend to not cover the brake lever. Thats just an observation and I am sure there are lots of exceptions but in most street courses they will tell you to keep fully on the grip and not to reach for the lever.

I also ride with one finger on the lever. Had to adjust a little bit with the sidewinder though, as with even a bit of pressure the brake light turns on, messes up the person following me
