| Hi,
Just fitted a pair of Oxford heated grips, fairly straightforward to do but beware of the tabs on the rear back panel left side as they are quite fragile!
As mentioned before cable not long enough so extended with a piece of 2 core, great product at a great price. |

| I had 3 generations of Oxfords before I changed over to Puig. The Oxfords did the job but did not last forever. |

| I have Oxford hot grips on my SW.
BEWARE!
The first time I used them, the heat caused expansion which held the throttle open while riding on the motorway.
Fortunately, the friction was easy enough to overcome. |

| I've had mine installed for three years and no problem, so far. They work great and were relatively easy to install. I ride at or above 40 degrees if it's sunny and the roads are good, here, in Illinois. My hands stay warm and my Venture heated jacket liner keeps the rest of me warm!

| I fitted a set of the touring grips last year, and they work a treat. |
