I've used Oxford, Daytona and Symtec Heat Demon pads that fit under your stock grips. All worked well enough, although I did have a few issues with the Oxford controllers when they changed the design to the fancy push button type (the older style Hot Grips were never a problem). Overall I have to say I preferred the value, simplicity and robustness of the Symtec kit.

However, just to throw a spanner in the works Steve, if you can justify the additional cost, get some heated gloves instead. Once you've used them you'll never ever go back to heated grips! The heat is instant as it doesn't have fight through the grip rubber and then the outer and mid layers of your gloves. The best thing though is that you can use them on more than one bike, or even in the car - especially useful if you have a rag top Series Land Rover with a Smiths non-heater!
