Hot Grips
No it's not another how do i fit them thread.......
I'm about to get some Oxford Hot Grips but after doing a search found out that some people have had problems with the newer 2007 one's. Is it limited to a few people or should I avoid the new ones and stick to the oplder ones with the dial? |
Re: Hot Grips
i had the new control box (which will turn its self off if left on) & mine never got hot, just mildly warm, so i tried the older dail control box which was the same,
i phoned oxford and they were as much help as a chocalte firegaurd from what i understand there is 2-3 differant generations of the grips, & 1 off them does not work too good on the curvy clip ons |
Re: Hot Grips
I havent got Sv clip-ons ( getting some Ducati ones) so hopefully it may not affect me :D

Re: Hot Grips
Well we all know that the dial control box is not water proof...

Re: Hot Grips
new ones are good :)

Re: Hot Grips
The problem with the new ones was that they switched off at idle, I think. And the problem with teh really old ones was that they had no heat shield and the curvy clipons were good heat sinks. There's a set in the middle which are just right. It's like a nursery rhyme :) Wish they went hotter, mind, they're fine for a clear winter day but for 2am in sleet I want HOT.

My new ones can burn my hands through leather winter gloves (£120 worth!)

Re: Hot Grips
That's the idea, but the SV doesn't provide much charge at idle so it could confuse the controller, apparently.

Re: Hot Grips
So basically I'm looking for the one in the middle which is probably like looking for a needle in a haystack!:D I think I'll get some of the new ones and give them a go, I'll wait until I get my new clip-ons though as I dont know how long the sender will take to send them (Ay Northy ;))
