Daytona heated grips - any good?

Hello good forum

Just wondering if anyone had a chance to try out these Daytona heated grips?

They are sold by the MCN shop at almost half the price of Oxford ones on ebay...

Anyone tried them?

Thanks.

Im pretty sure there are some that are made by the same company as Oxford, but rebranded.....Cant remember the name though, they were cheap also!

Motex or something i think http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTRAX-GRI...item2a239fab43

Like those?

Daytona are the bomb roxter are the Oxford ones.

I've heard r&g ones are good and under 40 quid as well

Daytona are very good. Made in Japan instead of china.

the proper Daytona grips aren't like the oxford ones, they have a straightforward rotary controller which is far more robust than the digital one oxford use, I've used the same set on 4 bikes now and haven't had a single issue, I've also fitted a secondhand set to my other bike with expected ease.

Daytona grips should have a controller that looks like this



Cheers Mark.

It was so cold this morning.... so some heated grips questions please.

1. Are they worth it?
2. Are these Daytona ones (for the MCN link) ok having only "on" and "off" as opposed to different settings.
3. If the Oxford ones are better, which of their ones are best for the (naked) SV? (they have sports and premium tourer options)
4. Where does the controller box go. Does it need and/or come with a mount?
5. If I was getting someone to fix them, which connection is best (so they only run when the engine is on).
6. Does anyone find the bars a bit cluttered with the control box on them.

I have seen the fitting guide on the front page.

Thanks as always.

I've done 20k miles with oxfords - yes, they are worth it

Dunno, but that's what put me off these, bought R&G, yet to be tested
3. If the Oxford ones are better, which of their ones are best for the (naked) SV? (they have sports and premium tourer options)

They usually come with some sort of bracket, up to you where you fit it.
5. If I was getting someone to fix them, which connection is best (so they only run when the engine is on).
A relay circuit, feed by the battery via an egnition - see Bibio's accessory gizmo group buy thread, looks smart
6. Does anyone find the bars a bit cluttered with the control box on them.
You'll get used to it.

Thanks as always.

Cheers, have ordered some oxfords.
