The hotgrips controller is pretty much just a variable resistor, I think. Thermistor? Can't remember that bit of standard grade physics

Sounds like the Honda one is a bit more clever and regulates heat by on-off intervals rather than by reducing the power. The Honda grips are more powerful than the Oxford ones, I think, at least they're more powerful than mine.
