Oxford heated hand grips saga

[oneofsix]

Interesting to hear. The shop that fitted mine refused to put a relay in saying the voltage cut-off would be sufficient and the units weren't known to malfunction.. ohh reaaaally?

Sad to hear, after all whose paying for this work! Had a workmate had the same story, trouble is the sensor didn't allow for the always on headlight, didn't leave enough juice to turn the bike over with the light on after he forgot to turn the grips off.

Easy to fit grips via a switched relay. Even I managed to do it without rending the very fabric of the universe.

Check HERE.

You're welcome.

Yep, even I managed to achieve success with this!

Exactly. It took them 2 hours to wire them up directly to the battery too, feeling a bit ripped off tbh.

Was riding in snowy/rainy and sleety conditions (for about 50kms) at the weekend IN MY SUMMER GLOVES! had winter gloves with me but didn't need them....

I will only postpone a ride when there are newbies attending, and where conditions could be of concern. Always another day

Actually, I have name for the support group...Grippers of New Zealand Unite (GONZU)

The saga continues.

Your stance on the jibing is to be commended, a large percentage of readers seem all to uptight and lack severely where humour is intended...so what colour is your Tutu?

Yeah life's a bit short for that, I'm trying to learn to take as much as I give lol. Whoops didn't mean to hijack thread..
As for my tutu... it's the same colour as my powerband

A word of caution for the control unit and the switch unit. They are NOT waterproof. Now you'd think that someone making a motor cycle accessory would make them water proof.

The hard plastic grommet where the cables go in must face downwards as water gets in there.

Meh, if you use hotgrips you obviously don't ride in the rain...I certainly try to avoid getting wet, on two wheels anyway.

The other question might be how do we maintain our testicular fortitude when the ambient temp approaches unpleasant levels? I for one prefer a pair of my wifes' gym shorts

No, worn as a bandana of course to hide the circumcision scar
