Been thinking about get some heated grips, so far these oxford grips look ok as you can put the on  in a few minutes just wrap around the grip when needed, once the initial wiring has been fitted.
and from doing a few searches a good safety + ,staying warm.

Any one else used or tried these type of grips?

And some may say harden the phuck up but i called 1800 101020.
And SMS TRY
They are only offering the Harend up i don't need as yet [evil]

Ya big girl!

Seriously, I couldn't give a shit if you use heated grips (not very blingy though). One of the guys that Jukie was talking to in the NFI queue said he uses them ... and loves them.

He said he was copping a lot of stick off his mates until he arrived at 'the Island' with nice warm hands in summer gloves and they were all complaining ... and then asking where to get them and how to install [laugh]

Rob, I installed heated grips a week before taking the DRZ400E to last year's Alpine Rally. For those who don't know, the Alpine Rally is held on the June long weekend each year down in the snowies. They were the best thing I've ever bought for a bike, bar none.  People can call you a girl, but if your hands are warm, their insults will be water off a duck's back.

I don't like the look of the ones you've chosen though - they look a little thick and you may have trouble fitting them under normal grips.

These ones from Vince Strang motorcycles in Inverell are the bees knees, and some of the cheapest you'll get. http://www.vincestrangmotorcycles.com.au/gripheaters.html


Super easy to install, and also cheap. 2 speeds - warm, and hot.

On the ride back from the Snowies last year we went through some rain, and my gloves had steam coming off them!  I love 'em.  [bow_down]  [bow_down]  [bow_down]
