Wow, i bet most of you thought id dropped off the earth, well sadly for you i aint!

Anyhoo, heated grips please. NOT OXFORD, i will never buy another of their products and the broken grips that are currently on the bike and need replacing will be sent to them in the post in lots and lots of small pieces, perhaps with a bit of cat turd i find lying about too. Dont ask but enough to say their customer services manager doesnt know what service is, how to look after a customer or how to manage speaking like a human with a brain in his head.

Can you guess i dont like Oxford?

So, suggest away people, the more the merrier too :)

thanks for the replies so far you guys, im a little fussy about having a decent controller, so any idea what the dr bike one is like? I wouldnt be surprised if its just the older oxford one repackaged by J&S.

but keep em coming, i do love you guys. In a manly way.

Most of the heated grips out there are made by the same people Oxford buy theirs in from. Dr Bike, a few others and even Honda UK ones are. All of them have controller issues, especially the push button type commonly found nowadays.

I've found over the years that Daytona ones with the three position rotary controller don't give any trouble, and I've had a set on almost every bike I've owned in the past 10 years

+1, I have these and they're great. Only small issue I have with them is the controller, being a push button then a dial but if you're out in strong winds the dial move round of its own accord lol. Can't switch them off that way so it's not a big issue but just something that could have been designed a tad better. But for the price can't go wrong.
