Rider in training
If you feel like a long read, I've just blog'd on my experience of fitting Oxford Hotgrips. If you're thinking about fitting them and haven't yet then perhaps you might gain something from my experience.

I've got some to fit.
Which will be done this weekend when I get to my local workshop *cough*Frosty's Yard*cough*

Here for the ride.
Double shot!!
Fitting them on the hyo's is a bit of a bother, as the throttle tube has to be modified.

You see, that's the kind of thing it doesn't mention in the advertising on the outside of the packet ...
Double shot!!
It's nothing the 4" angle grinder won't fix.

I went for a longish ride today in the rain, used my heated handgrips for the first time - I love them!!!!!!For the first time since using my new bike, which has much bigger handgrips than I am use to - my thumb (which has the joint pinned/fused as it is full of athritis) didn't ache at all!!!
AwesomeI am so happy that my thumb isn't hurting like it usually does.

Fantastic, the more comfortable and relaxed - the more we enjoy the ride : )

I am such a dork, but I am excited by the fact I don't have to load up with painkillers and a hotpack to try to stop my thumb hurting.
And I had an awesome ride today, on my awesome new bike!
And I got a huge compliment - my Dad said I am riding really well, not like a newbie at all! Said I looked like I had been doing it for years.

There is a much simpler and cheaper method. Its not too technical to do and the boys in southland might have a clue about this. The Mainland way is highly recommended to North Islanders..... Take 2 teaspoons of cement, twice daily for 3 days and harden the %^%$ up lol............
All that aside, I could be tempted, after hearing reviews from you guys about the oxford grips, priced some today and they said they would fit them for free...... They are cheap as.
I am freindly really, I only bite when provoked
ZZZZZZZZZZ
Just be aware that the supplied mount won't fit your Triple and you'll need to make something.
