Oxford Hot Grips.

Food for thought.

Get some, PB. I'll put them on for ya. You'll love them - like hanging onto a nice hot heater rail.

Just got some the beginning off the week! Wow they heat up so quick & work brilliantly - Now to get some for me feet

Only downside to the hot grips are they are not gel grips which I need to reduce the vibes, but it's way better to be able to have feeling in my hands than not

If you like your own grips there is another option, not in bar heaters but a wrap that goes between your bar and grip...

Thanks I'll keep them in mind but I have the oxfords on now & will see how I go over time with the vibe issue but it is nice to have my hands feeling so toastie

I didnt wire them into the key so I could warm them up before getting on the bike to go to work. Otherwise it would take aslong to warm up as it takes to get to work and that kinda defeats the purpose really. I am pretty sure my memory is not so far gone that I will forget to turn them off just yet.

Pop down to Dick Smiths or similar and get a switch to run in-line with the wire - mount it where you can see it so you know they are on.

Or better yet get one of these cool switch covers as well -

Or get one with a light - green I'd presume

actually, as a side point. and I dont know why. I cant turn the hotgrips on if the bike is cold. First thought is a battery problem (as it is connected directly to the battery) but I start my bike every morning and it only takes a 0.5 second push on the starter to fire her into life so battery cant be that bad.
Another thing that has worked out quite good for me is by accident where I have mounted the control unit, if the unit is on 100% the red light is directly under the subframe/birdcage thing that goes over my dash so I dont have a red light in my view. Quite pleased about that.

The pair we just fitted to a blackbird do the same thing. The bike needs a few revs before the grips can be switched on. My daytona heated grips were like a Elba..... "They just do what they should" Probably the difference between Japanese quality and chinese manufacture?

Put some on today, gonna be a good thing me thinks

The battery voltage is too low. The grips controller won't let you turn them on if the battery is anything but fully topped up.

Just got some, grips feel same in hand if they are bigger it is very very marginal.

Blimin hot though, a bit gutted they dont have the fully adjustable reostat dial, instead just a 4 different precentage one, seems to be okay. all shops told me ya cant get the old turn dial ones anymore.

Ahhh well...

Bloodey hot though!
