Just fitted oxford's on mine .... sh*t myself putting the supplied super glue on... had a job n a half forcing the grip on but got there in the end (didn't sand down enough I think!)

They are fab..... even if I am a tart ! ( a tart with warm hands can only be a good thing )

Good luck - it's worth it.

I didn't, but then I didn't use glue either. I used soap to lubricate the rubber and it slid on quite easily. left it a further couple of hours and the grip was solid in position.

Hmm, no way mine would've fit, the inner was too rigid to squeeze over- tried soap and a rubber mallet Mine are the recent revision with the heat shield built in, are yours the same?
