Hi guys, after much searching around i finally found a thumb warmer for the throttle on the new quad, got it on the bay from canada, only cost peanuts and wasnt long getting here, aparrently no-one in aus has em, maybe it isnt cold enough, well come down to tassy in winter and ride around in the middle of the night .
Allready have heated grip,they are Oxford brand and they work awsome, they have a aux. plug in the wiring loom for accessories such as a thumb warmer so i wired it into that and the whole shebang works off the controll box for the grips so there ya have it, i`me getting soft .....

pics of what ????? the thumb warmer or the quad,, you cant see the thumb warmer cause it is only a very small element that sticks on the throttle arm where ya put ya thumb for gas, and, i was a smart arse and managed to take off the factory plastic stuff ,put the warmer on then replace the plastic stuff back over it, so it looks as if there is nothing there at all..

anyhow, maybe you ment pics of the quad ??

g`day Barney, the grips are great and thumb warmer is also good, i have em on my road bike as well,grips anyway, always didnt think much of heated grips untill i rode one of me mates road bikes that had em on, it was winter and i didnt want to give his bike back so i went and got a set, wouldnt be without em now.

yeah the winter down here is painfull at night when ya out on the quad shoot`n and stuff , and the rifle is a fairly new Ruger Predator in .204 , they come with a green finish laminate stock but i didnt like the colour so i rubbed some dark mahogany stain in it and it worked out ok, on some of the other pics there is a Remington 700 in .260 on the bike , you can see by the "R" on the recoil pad, it has a standard American walnut stock which i sorta like better than the laminates,,, love me guns.
