Was no need to start a new thread, made more sense to revive one instead. I am heading out to test the grips in a bit.  8)

Oh, it is *ALWAYS* preferable to post to an old/existing thread that to create YADT  (Yet Another Duplicate Thread).

I just started replying and not even realizing what I was replying to was old until right before I sent it :)

(Yikes, this is an old thread)  My factory Concours grips get plenty hot- way hotter than I would ever need (even in 30's, I have never had them on highest setting).

Mine too. 

On a sidenote, getting heated grips was akin to discovering women... .

If you think that is good, get a Gerbings jacket, like discovering sex starved twins :finger_fing11:

I'll up the ante to quintuplets.  In addition to heated grips, I also embellish my cold weather comfort level with electrically heated vest, pants, gloves and heated innersoles.  Over the vest I wear an L.L. Bean down filled parka.  If all that doesn't do the job, I can put on my silk balaclava and silk glove liners.  If I encounter any temperature below what all that will accommodate I park the bike and take the car or just get inside and stay there till the mercury rises.

The heated grips were fabulous, used them almost all day. I rode 165 miles and there is NO WAY I could run them on high for longer than maybe 5 minutes......dang they got hot. I found some sweet grips at the Pony that one of the sales folks turned me on to, I think I have found myself some keepers.

Not familiar with Oxford, but I am running OEM Honda ST1300 grips and I am very happy with them. Very complete kit, EASY to install.

$200 if I recall.  Worth every penny.  You can find them on Ebay or at a Honda dealer.
