I 'had' them fitted, but took them off when the bike was written off. Never bothered putting them back on when I put it back on the road. They were easy enough to fit and I liked them because they allowed you to retain the original grips and do away with the eyesore that is a mahoosive black box control fitted to the bars (as you get with the other styles).

Exactamundo!....the rocker looked like it was meant to be there as opposed to a fugly box somewhere on the bars.

One of the lads at work has the R&G grips and has no problems with them. They get hot and haven't stopped working once.

Do you not ever worry about the lights on your bike draining your battery when they are on while you are riding...

lol, i was worried incase the drain out was more than what was charging the battery
