wiring up oxford heated grips

[yorkie_chris]

I beleive they sense for the pulsations in power coming from the alternator

or I could be talking rubbish and they just switch off below 13v or something like

Yea i thought the second option... so you might be talking rubbish, sorry to tell you mate.

Anyone know?

grips:
white/red - brown/green (connect white to brown and red to green)

controlbox :
Black/red - black/black with white mark (connect black wires, and the red one with the marked one)
at least that's how it is on my bike.
I have them connected to the fuse box, manual said they can be connected to the battery. I think this doesn't matter as they turn them self off whenever I idle (low charging voltage while idling).

I want to put mine on.

ButI dont know how to wire them up (i want to wire them to the ignition circuit, so that when I turn off the ignition, the grips turn off too)

And I need to make up a better braket so the controller lives inside the fairing, not on the handlebar exposes to all and sundry

this is good....... but i dont have the wire going from battery to the control box so i have to use my own, so out of the rsd & the white boming off the control box which is the live to go to the battery, im thinking its the red one, but its just a calculated guess

thanx

take the seat off, the fuse box has a spare connection point for the ignition circuit, you can either solder your wire there or use a banana plug (i did).

-> hovis

I think red is always the positive, but double check that.

can i use the wire from an old kettle?

Orange wire coming out of the ignition switch connector, make sure you use a fuse as this is only protected by the main fuse.
