OXFORD Products of692 Premium Sports Heated Grips

Excellent quality heated grips , purchased for my Triumph Speed Triple 94R (65 plate). I've never fitted heated grips before but did a bit of research watching youtube vids and asked a few biker mates etc. Initially the hardest part was removing the OEM grips, I did think about slicing them off with a knife but didn't want to risk damaging the bars underneath, after a bit of umming and arring decided on a long flat blade screwdriver and some fairy liquid drizzled over the shaft of the screwdriver, inserted under the grip, ran the screwdriver around the circumference of the grip and et voila the grip just slid off, amazingly easy !!The grips come with a tube of superglue, I didn't think I was going to need this but the left grip slipped over the handlebar easily and was a little on the loose side so I ran the superglue around the handlebar and some inside the grip, fitted the grip and left to dry, I let it dry overnight before riding the bike with the heat on. The throttle grip was slightly trickier to install as the plastic twistgrip has raised plastic on the end of the grip making it hard to slide the grip on, I trimmed the plastic flush with the twistgrip and then eased on the new heated grip, was quite tight and took some pushing on, a little smear of fairy liquid made it easier. Just be mindful of the cable position when sliding on the throttle grip, you need to allow for the front brake lever and for when steering the bike , once you are happy with the grips you can route the cables to where your battery is and cable tie in place with the cable ties you get in the pack. The heat controller comes with a bracket and small self tapping screws and looks and is quality, I fitted mine to the left mirror bracket, as I have bar end mirrors I just reversed the bracket to allow for the heater control bracket to be attached.These heated grips don't require a relay as the controller has a built in battery level sensor, so if you forget to switch the grips off the controller knows this and stops heating and switches off when the ignition is off. I've tested the heat in dry and wet and very cold weather, on 100% they are very hot, even through thick gloves, takes a few minutes for them to heat up but boy do they keep your hands warm. Took me a couple of hours to fit , just take your time and you will be fine. Very pleased with these, highly recommended.

Mine arrived with Polish instructions and the boxing is all Polish which didn't bother me as they are such a good price. I downloaded the English instructions from the Oxford Website so it was no issue. Aside from that once fitted they are superb and a great price as well. They fit a Honda CB125F Nicely and do not need shortening as long as you move the levers in slightly. Took my time concealing the wires carefully and tested them before fitting the grips. The Battery fittings are a doddle, spare cable easily concealed under the seat, the cable fittings are good and impossible to wire incorrectly. The time consuming part is smoothing the throttle tube down to make it fit but I used a Stanley knife to cut off the raised bits first and then filed and sanded it smooth and kept checking if it fitted, it was a snug tight fit which I wanted and with the super glue its seems very well fixed. The left hand clutch lever fouled the cable bit at first so I just twisted it a bit more so its out of the way, also carefully check the throttle wire doesn't foul the brake lever. I fitted them over 2 evenings and just took my time thinking carefully before the final positioning before gluing. Make sure you cover Tank and Fairings with a Towel or Dust sheets as the glue drips. I just cut off the old grips with a Stanley knife for speed of fitting, I also used a few extra cable ties that make it a bit neater and safer, its worth spending some time thinking about the cable routing. They heat up fast and the control is good, its default is "on" for the Safety cut out and works a treat shutting it down after a minute or two if the engine is not running, Finally I bought an Oxford Battery optimizer as I figure with the extra load on a 125cc Battery its worth just topping it up and it was a good time to add the optimiser Cable to the battery with the side panels removed, so now I can just simply plug in the charger to the bike when in the garage.
