We used Winding roads for the money and the fact you can use any grips they work very well

Happy enough with my Oxford Hotgrips, �40 from eBay.

What muffs are you trying to fit. I fitted mine from my old 1200GS on the Tenere over the top of the Touratech handguards Stumpy |
Dont have a tenere but got an XTR and happy with my oxford grips but only one of them is working now and think its something to do with the heat controller as its happened on my dads bike before, changed the controller with mine and worked fine

After waisting 3 (three!) Oxford 'black-boxes' (the actual electronics) in 4 months, first one had the old type with rotary knob... which wasn't water tight. Second (newer type with pushbuttons) one just died. Third one (same type): buttons went lame...
... I gave up and went for a set of CLS-heat. http://onlineshop.cls200.de/index.ph...eizgriffe.html Typical German: a bit over-engineered with automatic ambient temperature compensation ... or whatever. Works OK, though I'd have liked a bit more power/heat. 41 Watt... and quite expensive €169,- (!) At least it looks rock solid and still works! b.t.w. it came with .... Oxford grips! HJ |
Tech & Muffs. But I like the sound of SteveD's with the velcro round the mirrors. Need to take the mirrors off to fit the Tec7 , will take a picture and post. :snooze[1]: sometime.
I have a pair of Oxford Hot hands Velcro overgrips. Too hot but reliable. Plan to go for the symantic under grips, found a few of the Enduro riders use them with no complaints. Also have the gerbings headed full jacket, with trousers to match when it gets realy cold with the digital controller. Just need double glazing for the visor.....:icon_cherry: |
Hi, if you are fitting then new style Oxford Hotgrips, make sure you cable tie this connection......
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l4...y/DSCN3867.jpg This will stop you having the re-connect it after pulling the wire to try and get a litle extra cable after moving the control mount on the bars.... This is a piccie of the new mounting point as i had to move it after fitting my SATNAV bag...... http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l4...y/DSCN3869.jpg Crusty:icon_biggrin: |
Have just fitted the Oxford hotgrips today, took about 1.5 hours to do, making sure all the cables had the best possible routes,etc,and boy am I impressed after todays ride to work, at one point I was considering turning the heat down they are so good!!!
Cost �50 and worth every penny!! |
In case anyone was wondering goretex gloves (or similar) can let in water if used with heated grips as the membrane goes into reverse if the grips are hotter than the hand inside. Reason being the membrane lets moisture flow from the warm side to the cold side , one to worry about in the pishing rain just when you want them to be dry inside.

my oxford grips gave up the ghost yesterday, the control box is faulty only 5 months old and the bike has only done 2k so not happy bunny, ordered a new set and will try and send them back.
