    Dual Star and Symtech (sp) seem to be very popular and recommended by the hard core guys/gals up here. Reason being the elements are specific to clutch and throttle side installation and don't require the ceramic resistor inline like the cheap versions. Clutch side needs insulated with heatshrink or electrical tape to help prevent the heatsink effect of the metal handle bar and thus a cooler grip. Throttle side is easy. All I know is it's a damn good feeling having your cold wet hands being dried by the handgrips! Pretty neat.

    Kimpex are the cheap ones, they have the resistor, draw full power at all times and dump it to the resistor for low.

    I think the moose ones are repackaged symtech elements. Make sure you order the ones for bikes, not the ones for ATV's. The ATV ones use the same elements from side to side.

    Does anyone of you guys know if the alternator is good for it? I wouldn't like to end up with a dead battery... :D

    The 610 will power them up till they're hot enough to fry eggs on. Don't leave them on overnight or your battery will be dead :busted:

    I would guess if you have a newer (08-12) TE you should be fine but you would
    need the specific numbers from the Service Manual and go from there. 200 watt stator in TE IIRC
