Hotgrips for XT660 - Do you know a type?
I have been looking for hotgrips for my bike for months, but can not find anyone which fit a 1" (25mm) handlebar.
My bike is a standard XT660. The bar is 22mm, but the handle is 25mm... All hotgrips suits 22mm.. Like Daytona as I have been used on all my other bikes and this one from OXFORD is also for 22mm.. http://www.oxprod.com/index.php?pg=3&action=dept&id=30&pid=174&p = Do any of you know a supplier of 25mm hotgrips? HOTGRIPS IS A MUST AND I LOVE IT... Regards Per |

Thomsen
I dont understand this but i have a set of the Oxford heated grips that you posted in the start of this thread and it has the standard bars on still. I bought the bike with them on and they seem to fit fine. They work great and give plenty of heat for my fingers. Dont understand how my bike is different!!!

Are heated grips worthwhile or are they just for ladyboys? I can understand on a long trip in the cold but riding around town they seem soo pointless?!

heated grips
I thought exactly the same. Bought a blade that had heated grips and thought it would be the first thing to change. Like anything else, never got around to it, then had a trip to make on really cold day. Thought as they were fitted might as well give em a try. Absolute god send. Thinking of sticking a set on the xt for winter as i use it every day. (aint got around to that either !!!!! )

I must still be drunk after New Year celebration, because I am so stupid
The bar is 22mm and the handle is 25mm (THAT IS STANDARD) and all hotgrips are made for 22mm bars.. 1 set is, one for the bar (22mm) and one for the handle (25mm).. I mixed them up and did not noticed the difference Conclusion: All 22mm hotgrips fit and HOTGRIPS are a must, not only for the ladies.... I have bought a set from www.louis.de, called Daytona with a switch for off/20/60w and they work perfect. Sometimes I even have to remove my hands slightly to cool them down. |

Dont worry thomsen we all make mistakes, like me when i though some guy was shared his bike with someone else as he said split for his country, how was i to know there is a town called split.
Anyway heated gripped rule

Another alternative
I used this as an alternative to the Oxford type heated grip. These elements stick onto the handle bars and you can use any grip you like. They came with a switch. wiring etc. They have a high and low setting but are so hot on the high setting that I've only used them on ther low setting so far.
They came from the states and delivery was excellent. Website http://www.dual-star.com/index2/Ride..._grip_kit1.htm |
