How to make Hand Warmers

[TheCoz43]

Here is how I did my hand warmers.

Take a water line of your choosing and route it up to the handle bars, then,
Drill and tap a hole in the center of the bars and attach a threaded 90 degree brass fitting.

Drill a hole or two through the grip.


Add a little sillicon to the bar end cap.


Keeps your hands nice and warm.

very clean. much better than adding a "T" at the handle bars and running the lines across to the grips like I did. gonna have to change it and do it like yours. Thanks for the pics

Looks sweet! I found that when u pull the water from the pipe it floods your engine when u turn it off. It works much better with line from the head and its also a cooler temprature

Temp seems right, not too hot. Could you explain how and why this floods the engine? I didnt notice that. Thanks

I think it is from gravity drawing back the water from the raised line in the handle pole as it feeds it through the spray holes in the head pipe. The top hole leaking into the combustion chamber.

Probably if you run the top head pipe screw open it allows a back flow to dribble into manifold and down into the cylinders.

Alright, I believe what has been said, so what does everyone think about putting a one way valve right after the head pipe. I like the temp of the water that comes out of the grips. With the dual cooling the other pisser doesn't even feel warm. If i can find a 1 way valce with a 3/8 fitting, it shouldn't let any water trickle back in. I haven't searched yet but maybe mcmaster carr or even HD. Anybody know of one?

Seemed to be the best option I could find on McMaster Carr with a quick search

or you could just pull the water from your head and use a restrictor to get the proper temperature.

Thank you Kohldanielzimmer That looks like it could work.
Shaunsteezy how does this restrictor work? Where do you put it?
