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:kneel:

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.

Put oxford hot grips on my bike and they were very easy to fit and work very good as well.

Theyre Great
 

I recently fitted oxford hotgrips when I semi-rebuilt my xtr and they are excelent and get so hot on the high setting that I need to turn them down after a few minutes. For their relatively low price they are well worth it.

When I sold my GS I missed the heated grips so just bought some Hotgrips as I cant live without them :thumbsup:

Heated grips
 

Oxford grips and they fit mint and they are not for soft b-----ds if you ride in north wales in -----4.00 degrees . Great product and at �45.00 quid ish my god they are so so so cheap . Happy christmas fellow biker . Regards neil4022:support::porn::smilies0349::SpinHappy_15X K8L:

I use the same thing as agricon, symtec under grip heaters, slide your old grip off, stick the pad to the bar and slide your grip back over the top. Wire em up an off you go. Two heat settings, high is too hot till your doing over 40 and its -2. Worth every penny of �41 off fleabay. This is my 2nd set of these and whatever my next bike is it will be getting a set of these as well.

Has anyone found a switchable wire for the +ive please that turns off when the ignition is turned off? Im looking for somewhere near the fuse box

Thanks

I'm not sure about the ten but on the X there is a plug for the optional alarm and this is right near the battery/fuse box. It has an ignition live on it and if you don't have the alarm then it should have the spare amps to run the grips safely.

Or you could wire them through a relay. It's been mentioned here before. It allows you to run the grips directly off the battery but only be live when the ignition is on. The Standard 4 pin automotive relay cost me about �2 from Maplin.

Pin 85 - Battery -ve
Pin 86 - Ignition +ve
Pin 30 - Battery +ve (best with an inline fuse)

Heated grips
Negative - Battery -ve
Positive - Relay pin 87

You don't have to worry about overloading an existing circuit by adding 4A to it but your grips wont drain the battery if you forget to turn them off.

I'm planning on wiring the relay pin 87 to a fuse box so I have easy options to add other toys with their own fused ignition live. I just have to figure out where to hide it all over the next couple of days.

To MikeWright, Ive wired mine up on my r to the live feed to the headlight and earthed them on the headlight bracket. They come live with the headlight as soon as the engine fires up and off again with the ignition. You cant leave em on and flatten the battery. I thought at first they might overload the headlight circuit and blow the fuse but thats not been the case, the only problem ive found is if ive got main beam on for long periods they go cold as theyre wired to the dipped beam circuit.
