Most people have gone for Oxford grips. I can recommend them.

Make sure they aren't pre 2005 as they dont work so well on alloy bars.

[Kate]

Had Oxford ones here too, essential when its cold!

[T0mm0]

I fitted the Oxford ones back in December, bought them off Ebay for about £22. I can't rate them high enough, it makes such a difference to the daily commute in this cold weather.

are they really that good :?: , & can they be easily removed for summer :?:

Why would you want to remove them?

[kjames]

u don't need them during summer, & i don't want a drain on power.

depends whether or noy you get the wrap around ones or the fixed ones, would recommend the fixed ones as i got wrap arounds and they have not temp control, parms burn finger tips freeze :roll:

Erm, you could just turn them off? :roll:

I believe they are glued on and replace the standard grips so no, you can't take them off.

I've got Gerbing's heated gloves (www.gerbing.nl)

I haven't tried 'em yet though, because I am 'without bike' :roll: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Which would you say is worse - being bikeless or having a shiney new bike right outside and not being able to ride it? :cry:

mr cloggsy is right having one you can't ride is better than not having one at all

This is true, but I think I was more patient about it before the new bike appeared, and I have to walk past it everyday to get in the cage to go to work.

I have HG's own brand on the 'Blade, and Oxfords on the SV.

The Oxfords seem to be hotter and are apparantly fuly controlable, but I find that there is actually only about 3 heat settings - warm - hot - and boody hot...

The HG ones have 2 settings "Start" & "On" - I find that the start position is required all the time in some conditions. These seem better made too.

Still, wouldn't be without them now....

James, during the rideout to Hastings on Sunday my hands were nice and toasty. I enjoyed the ride so much more because my hands weren't hurting. I guess you could remove them but there really isn't any need. Just disconnect the leads from the battery points.

Cheers

I use the Oxfords grips, wish they went hotter though... I wear Pathan 2-fingers too, one of the warmest gloves there is, but my thumbs always freeze. Next year, I'll get heated gloves I think. And maybe a vest too.

[Hogzi]

Had the ‘fixed’ grips but now have oxford wrap arounds. These are A1 in this weather and you can take of when/if the weather warms up!!

I use them with muffs and my hands don’t get cold. I do 72 miles a day in all weather.

[northwind]

Muffs are the solution for 2 serious problems- cold hands, and bikes that look too good ;)

That's why I'm probably going to get some (to go with the heated grips I've just ordered). My bike is just waaaaay too cool for skool at the moment. :-k
