Hey guys and girls,

Happy New Year and all that :).

Have any of you tried these?

I could do with some heated grips to keep my hands warm because its sooooo cold :smt099. Would the Oxford ones be better? Or any other type recommended thanks in advance for the replies

They are early Oxford ones rebadged, don't bother and buy Daytona brand ones instead. There's very little difference in price if you buy them off ebay.

All the Oxford ones I have ever encountered have failed, none of the many Daytona ones I've seen have ever given a problem.

hmmm never tired them so cant help there.

Ive got oxfords... try ebay as there will always be some about.. brand new aswell so you could find a good bargin there, as i think it would be worth spending a little extra.

Thanks Lozzo for the tip. I'll have a look at them, anyone else tried the Daytona ones? To be honest i've never heard of them. I've heard bad things about the Oxford ones, manly from Yorkie Chris but didn't know why he didn't like them.

Basically just the heating element that you put under your OEM grips

Anyone tried them?

Has anyone fitted the Symtec heaters? Mine have apparently arrived so I'll be fitting them at the weekend....haven't seen the schema yet but guess they need a live that's only live when the ignition is on....what's the best/easiest/cleanest bet? Headlight feed?
