Should have fitted them years ago!!
 

Heated grips I mean....they are just brilliant!. ...wish I'd done this mod years ago. I was riding yesterday in 3 0r 4 degrees with nice warm hands....joy!. Steve

I agree. A great addition to almost any bike.

which ones did you go for?..

Some Oxford ones...half price from M +P,'s sale. And I used Araldite instead of superglue on the grips....gives a bit of time to position them . Steve

Oh dear.....

I bought the cheaper one's..no complaints here.

I dare you to go to the next level and try out a heated jacket......and/or heated gloves. I've been a huge fan of Gerbing kit and it came in to its own when I'd finished a 12 hour night shift and had 25 miles of UK motorway to cover, all year long, before bed.

I dont need daring..just a bigger pension!

Heated waist coat next!....and Harry....I guess you mean the Oxford grips aren't the best quality!, hopefully they will last a few years. I'm waterproofing the connectors and mounting the controller on the left dash panel to protect it. Reduced from �70 to �32 ....a d my hands are toasty! Steve

No Steve, I've nothing against Oxford tackle and have had a few pairs of the heated grips. My concern is in your use of Araldite to fit them. You may have made a rod for your back sometime down the line, I hope not.:nod:

I agree with you on that one Harry!, but when your glueing skills are as dodgy as mine the super glue bonds way too quickly!...cheers, Steve

Steve, I have just moved house and badly need to reduce my bike clothing pile. I have a Heated Jacket you might be interested in. Worn very infrequently. I'm 43inch chest. I can't remember the brand.

If your interested I'll dig it out and test it. �30 posted. Let me know.

Cheers Harry.....yes please! Steve

Please give me a day or two as this place is a sea of cardboard boxes at the moment...

The Jacket is a KHS Giali I think it says.

I have modded it by the addition of a coil lead and BMW DIN type plug.

I will send you a female DIN to stick across your battery with 10 amp fuse fitted. You supply the cable!

You are getting a bargin!

Send your address via private message.

I'll send my email address via a PM

Likewise, fitted the Oxford ones my self two weeks ago. Best thing ever! Not had to turn them above 50% yet. I also have muffs!

Hi guys,


did you take the tank off, to get the wiring to the battery?
Where did you go with the wiring?


Best wishes


Ralf

I lifed the tank and propped it on a block of wood,after Id took it off the front mounts.
I used a snake/flexible bicycle cabe,from direction of the rear and gently pushed allowing it to find a way through the wiring.
