Nope.
I stuck the elements to the bar/throttle tube.
Then, sprayed paint on the inside of the grip, and slid it on quick sharp before the spray paint started to get tacky. The lube provided by the spray paint, allowed it to slip on nicely.

The paint should provide enough 'stick' to keep the grips in place, but some lockwire will make sure.

I had daytona heated grips on my xtr what a waste of money would of been better getting a new pair of gloves , on start there far to hot and on on there luck warm at best , had a triumph tiger a few years back there grips were really good had a hot and warm setting the warm setting were fine nearly all the time just the right amount of heat , the factory grips are expensive but are worth the money if your going to keep the bike for a while

try heated gloves..used grips for years n thought they were ace but did have a problem in traffic with finger tips gettin cold. also with wiring direct to battery had the odd time forgetting to turn off..got a pair of widder and pair of klan last winter , absolutly fantastic..widder are a bit thick n clumsy but are mega warm..superb in subzero conditions. did need to treat them with a waterproofer as water soaked straight through..klan a lot thinner and more usable with switch gear. not as warm as the widder they dont seem to get hot..but you dont get cold mitts so must work. more water proof than the widder but water still gets through so need treating also..personally prefer the widder even though thicker but you really feel the heat no matter how cold. dead easy to wire up just leave the plug hanging out by the side of the seat no worries about coming back to a flat battery and the plug pulls apart easy enough should you forget your plugged in..without pulling the bike over..bit expensive compared to grips but well worth it..

Hi, got some of these from a local KTM dealer for �25 (Eurotech in Ripon), Easy to fit either spray brake cleaner or hair spray on to help slide original grips back on....

Something to consider on heated gloves: To be a proper enduro rider, I've learned that the index and middle fingers of both hands should be on the respective levers, i.e. clutch and front brake, in order to respond quicker when going thru bumps and unexpected surfaces. I personally find that a good safety measure when riding on asphalt as well. In this case, heated gloves are too thick for me, as it causes the clutch not engaging.

yeh know what ya mean..do the m60 every rush hour n its second nature fingers on both levers. thats why i tried the gloves.. would rather struggle a bit with thick gloves than have no feeling in me fingers when havin to do an evasive ..also helps a bit having long fingers..would be knackered with short stumpy ones lol..klan are poss the better option as only as thick as ordinary winter gloves just not mega hot..also used a heated jacketliner..awesome..must be gettin soft..

Have oxford heated grips on my 660x and they work fine.

You lucky so and so.... your not soft , just rich:mbounce:

The easiest way to refit grips (new or old) is to give the inside a good squirt of hairspary. They slide on an absolute doddle and the hairspray evaporates in a minute or two leaving the grips nice and foirmly in place.

Sounds a bit odd, but it really does work a treat. I've currently got the Symtec heaters on two of my bikes and they work just as well as the factory heated grips on my BMW.

I was off roading with 7 mates in the Peak District before new year, and it was below zero all day, the only guy riding without heated grips is fitting some Symtecs this weekend :-)

i've just fitted oxfords to my Z and they give out plenty heat. the G/F and i went around france last year, her with oxfords me with nowt, and when we encountered rain of biblical proportions she described it as like having her hands in hot water. the controller did not suffer at all from the water.

to the guys having problems with the grips switching off - is your generator/battery ok? my G/F can leave her grips on 1/2 power for 15-20 mins when stopped (engine off) without them switching off. maybe the voltage sensor in the controller is telling you something?
