Just Installed Oxford Hot Grips

I had the same, filed it down with a file and it took bloody ages.

Plus keeps your standards clean and tidy in case you ever want to swap back or remove the heated grips prior to a sale.

+1

will counteract the slightly larger diameter or the new grip.

Because thats a Pointy and doesn't have a headlight switch - they are always on with a pointy.

Get a dremel/knife/file and sand/cut/file that ridge away so you can move the grip further up the throttle tube so it doesn't look so odd.

It's a Pointy, they all have hazard lights. You can't turn the lights on and off like you can on a Curvy.

A 2003-2009 SV650, the 1999-2002 models are called Curvy's.

Was guessing that it's a pointy because my curvy hasn't got one, hence the question mark

it has been filed down so and its nice a snug, they work great, may never take em off -_- oh yeah and do i use the glue on both ahndles or just the left hand side? i have not used any glue yet.

I used glue on both.

Hazard warning lights come as standard on the technologically superior pointy model.

technologically superior maybe, but has it got as much character as a curvy?
