Hooked the grips up to AC and they work great.
The heated grips are a resistor and they will work the same if they are powered from AC or DC. The DC fan will likely have issues operating from AC.

The bridge rectifier should address your issue. It may also help to add a electrolytic capacitor across the rectifier output to clean up the DC feeding the DC fan.
