a little unclear? are you having a chat with someone about fitting or selling heated grips? if the first I'd suggest you post in the correct place, if the latter then a brand and price might be helpful :smt102

Which brand did you go for?

It took me ages to fit my Oxford Hotgrips to my ZX9R, but a lot of that was routing the wiring in the best manner and getting the wires tucked up under the tank and seat neatly.

I'll heat-shrink all the connectors in due course to be on the safe side.

Yeah, standard Oxford heated grips. They seem the best to be honest.

And yeah, seats off is easy [on SV650S] fuel tank up is easy, grips off easy, sanding off glue is easy. Its just making sure you don't catch the cables, or the front brake on the throttle, and making sure the wiring is all tucked away neatly.

I have done a decent job though, you can't tell I have done it apart from the massive cables comming off the grips :)

I got the Oxford sport grips, no idea how they differ from normal hot grips (xmas gift). There just so good, wouldnt really want to do the 190 mile trip home and back during xmas withouth them

I got the Ford Fiesta van model heated grips for my daily commute :D

Actually, my Versys has Daytona brand ones fitted, they come in handy even on summer evenings.

I've put some Dr Bike heated grips on mine, along with some hand guards from a V Strom. Early days yet but the grips were actually less hassle to fit than the guards and make such a difference. They were about £33 incl p&p from Amazon and they seem as good as the Oxford ones I had on my old ER5.
