Heated grips - looking for advice

[scumdog]

The couple of times I have installed them I have added a relay so they turn off when the key is off.

The only way to go.

Can anybody tell me if the Oxford light grips work as well as the standard ones? Do they just not have the big control box and just 2 settings?

Don't know much about the "light" version but the standard set I've had for nearly four years now and they have worked without fault all that time. Good idea I reckon.

I've had a 2 speed version before and they were either too hot or too cold, and I found myself having to switch the temp every few minutes. It was a pain. Current version is the 4 setting and I can find a temp that Goldilocks would be happy with.

Fair call. I could see times when you would want to change it.

I need both grips and jacket. Oxford grips work well but expect a controller replacement at some time. Keeping the blood warm is important.

I have some carpel tunnel issues so figure so heat will help.

A heated jacket will get in the way of your contols if you wrap it round your hands.
A really dumm idea Bro

If they are the dimpled grip, I thought they were shit and the originals were better. The dimples wear down too fast and you can't grip them as easily when they're wet.

Well my ones now have a mind of there own. Im riding along and they have turn on to full hot by themselves. Other times they turn off or just down.
