There is no adjustment on my 06, besides the knob at the end of the handlebar.

There supposed to heat up to 120 degrees but I don't think they do.
However the butt warmers are much better than previous years.

Them heated HD grips are KNOWN to fail!!! Often!!! Many have replaced them with internal heaters inside the handlebars. They're called Heat Demons.

There's a buncha info here too. Do a search for them! ;)
