Motorcycle Heated Grips (HotGrips), Easy Retro Fit !

[@murchyss]

One small tip that I don't think you mentioned, but could be helpful for a rookie - make sure to move the bars side to side to check that you have enough slack in the cables before deciding on the final cable routing! Wouldn't want to pull on the throttle at bar lock!

[@Demon-mg2mt]

a good thing for removing and adding rubber grips is isopropyl alcohol 👍it works a treat and needs no real clean up as it will evaporate and makes the inside of the grip slightly tacky to help hold it .

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

I always like to sand off the metal bracket for the controls, and spray it with smooth Black Hammerite, just to match the Black bars and switch gear a bit better, and make it slightly less obvious 😁

Can do that anytime after the install

[@rickrogers2649]

Being from the northeast U.S. I know from experience that there is no cold quite like motorcycle cold. I never had heated grips but I did invest in heated gloves and jacket liner. Since I'm an old geezer now my winter riding days are mostly behind me but these look like such an easy install I might look into them for my Versys. Thank you Del and Penney for this pro-level instructional video and I have to say your winter bike is beautiful. God bless and be well my friends. ♥👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Rick, how lovely to hear from you, and we really appreciate your kind words on the big ol' Triumph, not such a popular bike anymore so it was a cheap purchase for a big, comfy mile muncher for all year round use! Why not treat yourself, you may not ride in severe weather but even on a chilly day on a low setting, they keep your hands as warm as a summer's day, well worth the investment! Have a great weekend there, keep well, D&Px

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, only time had to get close to the highest setting was at night -3c on the highway and it started to rain sideways… most times first setting is all that is needed and can use summer gloves in winter, but even in summer some late nights it takes the edge off cramps/makes it a more enjoyable ride.

[@JD730]

My only complaint is the heater control doesn't look factory. That's my biggest concern and complaint of anything aftermarket is that it never looks right and always sticks out like a sore thumb. Also, how much load does this put on the stator / battery.

[@Moonfleet41]

I have to agree, fair play, it doesn't blend in with the Triumph controls, but it's universal kit so it's hardly going to blend in with every bike and it's never going to look factory when the factory systems are now built in to the wiring harness and the controller's played through the TFT dash. Nothing aftermarket will ever compare with that. If it really matters to you, you can mount this controller anywhere you like, it comes with a sticky back pad, you could tuck it innocuously out of sight on your fairing somewhere, but I just choose to have mine right next to my left thumb where I need it.... the amount of people who ride up the road now with a girt big phone mounted on their bars, it seems most people aren't bothered about ugly clutter on the dash!

[@donaldjones3580]

Thanks for the info, I had to remove the grip heater from my left handlebar to replace the handlebar after I accidently bent , don't use the handlebar grip area on a GL1800 to lift the front up. I was wondering what glue would work. BTW I used the Oxford grips on my Burgman 650, the only thing I dislike is there is no mechanical on/off switch, every time you turn the ignition off you have to remember to reset the Oxford controller. The Goldwing has a knob that stays where you set it.

[@robinmoncrief2470]

Very well done. I am going to fit them to my SYM 250i scooter. Thanks for the demo.

[@mikeopenshaw9128]

The perfect time of year to be putting this out - and another classic DIY job that would be money badly spent if getting the "stealership" to fit them - thanks guys x

[@Moonfleet41]

Hey buddy, I think tbh with so many bikes emerging from the production line with heated grips now it's almost become mandatory, certainly as you say, coming in to this time of year... without doubt, Oxford are by far the best product comparing quality and price together, there are better built and fancier hot grip set ups, but you won't buy those for £46 and it seems Oxford have focused on making them extremely easy to fit yourself and having used these now, they seem to have increased the temperature range cos at this time of year, even on a chilly night-time ride, I can't use them on anything higher than the bottom setting before they start to burn your hands... so once the real bad weather comes, I'm looking forward to warm toasty fingers all winter! D&Px

[@Cyclerepairz]

How did you get the superglue off your hands and what is stopping them from being turned on when the bike is left??

[@Moonfleet41]

Lewis, if you watch the video, see the green flashing light when I was testing them with the engine off, that's the intelligent controller, it detects the voltage drop and switches them off automatically after 30 seconds, same for if you leave them on accidentally! And also if you do leave them on, and they self cancel, then when you come back to the bike and re-start it, it remembers the heat setting and re-sets it to where it was.

[@DonHutchins]

I've used these grips before, so chiming in to try and help. The Oxford grips have technology built-in to detect voltage and it'll detect if the engine is not running and shut itself off (you may have noticed that LED blinking when he tested during the video without starting the bike).

[@adrianvanderzandt4310]

I use sand paper to get superglue off. It's the best option I've found...and I've had to experiment quite a bit

[@Mech.E]

My left hand covered in super glue but it turned out nice. Would like to connect them through a relay rather than directly on the battery but not sure if its worth the 'hassle'. Just dont like that they can be turned on while the bike is locked. Are yours the same?

[@Moonfleet41]

They are designed to work that way, a relay is completely unnecessary, the controller on the bars senses the voltage drop the minute you kill the engine and the system switches itself off shortly afterwards... if you do want to make an improvement to connection, whilst the relay isn't necessary, you could fit it to a 'switched live' if you prefer!

[@Mech.E]

On most new bikes the heated grips are an optional accessory, Honda charge £311!.of course, you could spend £26 from amazon and wire it into the factory connector. I doubt it is as good as the Oxford ones though.

[@Moonfleet41]

My word, that doesn't surprise me though, Harley Davidson are about the same price, and with the quality of the Oxford ones these days, there's truly nothing in it, the current Oxfords are OEM quality at least, if not better, and less than £50 as well, no brainer aye?!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, these little tricks are borne of experience, when you slip the grips on with that much superglue, specially considering they're tight, the moment you stop twisting or moving them, that;s it, they set right there and there's absolutely no moving them, so it's great to have some direction as to exactly where to land them!

@@Moonfleet41 I'm getting ready to paint my tank and front fender on my Sportster and bought some chrome Bar & Shield emblems that were for a Road King Special. The glue was expired, so Harley apparently sold a large quantity to an eBay seller. I had to slightly reshape the back of the emblems after taking the old glue off. I am still undecided on attaching them. I will probably use 3M double sided tape if they make fuel resistant tape.

I have yet to come across a better heated grip than Oxford. The glue is the art (left grip), that's the one I find will come loose over time if not done properly. Also, the glue will drip out, so watch your body work underneath.

Thanks mate, and it's not uncommon for the left side to break free because the superglue doesn't have any give, also we move the bike around, and you tend to pull it around with the left side most, so try some dedicated Renthal Grip Glue on the left, you've plenty of time with that (unlike Superglue), and it's pretty thick, so slide it round the inside of the grip at the switch block end, and as you wriggle it on the bar, it'll push it down the tube without bunching up at the switch end... you've plenty of time to slide it in to the favoured position and just let it set, takes about an hour and it won't let you down!

I agree, many changes since the last set we fitted, upgraded screw-in plugs that can't come undone, intelligent controller that remembers your settings and still just as chunky and robust as always!

Great video! Keep doing what you’re doing. As a new rider, I am loving your videos. Learning a lot! My first bike that I just purchased came with the older version of these but it’s good to know I can re do them if I need to 👍🏼

Thank you Ella. Welcome aboard!

Open a can of hot dog sausages, place evenly around grips & secure with a tortilla wrap & masking tape. (This will not prevent any accidents, but you will have something to eat while waiting for the ambulance.) Sadly, we're not Elizabethans today, so I'm learning a reggae Charleston lll step . . . Have a great w/e : )xx

The lyrical gangsta as always Sir!

Triumph could also snub H-D by producing a Royal Blue Rocket lll cruiser called 'The Woad King'! (sorry ; )
