I might be wrong, but when Liz took her bike to the garage for them to fit a set of Oxford Hot Grips, we just went in and asked for a pair to be fitted. The mechanic took a boxed pair off the shelf and as far as I am aware they went straight on with no mucking about.

I just fitted a pair and didn't realise they did different sizes! Must have been lucky! Get an R6 throttle tube as well, the grip is easier to fit to it than the standard SV one and you get less twist! lol I thought it was worth it anyway!

wrong, but I think teh 22 is for the left and the 25 the right. That could be utter nonsense!

The size applies to the handlebar not the size of the grip. Although as Northwind points out they are different sizes left and right. The SV and pretty much everything that isn't American or custom uses 7/8" bars. Harleys (not sure if they all do) and some custom bikes use 1" bars. Hense you get grips in 7/8" and 1" sizes (or 22mm and 25mm for the yongsters amoung us).
