Re: heated grips
I had oxford ones on my SV and I have daytona ones on my Buell now.
I prefer the oxford grips personally as temp controlled but they can get very hot. Have heard they burn out if used a lot on top heat but the oxford ones on my old SV are still going strong after 4 years.

Re: heated grips
I've had both and never had any trouble with the Daytona ones - they are plenty warm enough for trips into Scotland in winter. On the other hand, I've replaced too many pairs of Oxfords for friends (and one pair of my own which ended up with Daytonas instead) to ever want to buy them myself. There's plenty of threads on here about broken Oxford controllers and failed heater elements to put anyone off buying them.
The only good thing about Oxfords is they are available everywhere - you have to search for Daytona ones, but it is worth it. |
