The general instructions that come with them should be close enough; if not, you may need some "local" help. I doubt you will find instructions specific to the GZ anywhere.

Experience tells us, however, that the GZ's electrical system may not be able to keep up. How many watts do they draw ??

It says:

Current draw on high setting is 3 Amps at 13.5 Volts.

What do you think?

That's about 40 watts; slightly less than a second headlight.
If that is the only additional load you have added, I think you will be OK.
I'd suggest not using HIGH for long in stop-and-go traffic.

You might want to invest in a battery tender, if you don't already have one.

The GZ will have no problems running the Symtec grips. Use a relay to power them.

Here is a cheap alternative to heated grips. Less money, less work to install and less current draw. Less current could mean less heat though. I have never tried them.

Edit: sorry, I guess I should have started a new thread.

Does anyone use a heated glove? I am looking for some under $75 if possible?
