    Oxford heated grips

    Hi,

    I have on my Z'd Oxford heated grips that I am not keen on, they work just fine.

    The grips are currently on the bike so would need to get them off; if anyone is interested then I am open to reasonable offers.

    Cheers Dave

    Yeah I'm keen. It really depends how munted they get taking them off.

    What bar size are they for?

    What glue is holding them on? If its the cyanoacrylate that comes with them, they should come off with a good yank and twist. Worse case, you might have to take the bar off and heat it, and then slide the grip off as the glue softens.

    I'm surprised you don't like them. It took me a while to get used to the fatter grips, but now I like them better than skinny grips as they are easier on my hands. (and I'm used to things in my hands with some quality diameter to them.)

    Grips

    Hey Steve,

    Unsure regarding glue etc, will take a look and let you know how easy they are to remove un-munted .

    TBH I dont like the look of the switch for them but the grip width is good if maybe a tad smalller than I'm used too that is

    Rip them off without fuckarizing them, and boof them on trademe for $1S=R and post the link, and then we can put our co^H^Hmoney where our mouth is. Need to accurately measure the bar diameter they came off.

    The left grip will be easy to remove - just put your glove on and get a tight wrap on the grip and twist/wrench it off. You cant do that with the throttle grip, coz you will smash the throttle mechanism, so you are on your own there.
