looking into hot grips.

they look simple to fit.....the only problm is, there is a switch to turn then on/off which you put somwhere. if you leave them on & take the key out they will still be on so flat battery in the morning

please correct me if im wrong/ or how to avoid this
Take it to a dealer. You cant even do something simple like making WMP look for files
Touchy now arent we

I have seen Hotgrips in J&S for £29.99. They ahvent any on thier website though, but if you have one local, then go and have a look or give em a call.

hotHANDS @ j&s

Oxford Hot Hands OF694

Oxford Hot Hands are essential heated overgrips. These are easy to fit in winter and easy to remove in summer - make frozen hands a thing of the past! All necessary fittings are included in this pack including a switch with LED warning light, rain proof switch and also these can be used on quad bikes or motorcycles with a very low battery drain! Fantastic!

J&S Price £34.99 Incl VAT

Carriage £7

Alternatively put your gloves in the microwave for 10 minutes before you set off.........




That'll be my taxi then

On a serious note though, i was contemplating heated grips but as i ride with my fingers covering clutch and brake i think it would be a waste of my time and money as its only my finger tips that get cold

How to avoid it is to wire a relay into an ignition switches +12ve wire somewhere. I've got mine relayed off the tail light, since you'll never want to have your grips on and your lights off...
