Heated grips that work well on a small bike ??

Post by stevew »

Any recommendations from real world users on little 110s and similar.
I have Oxford on the big Maxi and they are amazing but i know the little Honda Wave's alternator output is definitely insufficient for another set of those!!
So what's out there that works well ??

Hi Stevew, I'd suggest a pair of muffs - the latest one's with support to stop the wind applying the brake look good (see link below) I'm thinking of putting these on the Forza to be honest as the one's I cutrrently have are 4 years old now and no longer totally waterproof.

The wind bar on the outside looks an improvement over the old system of being inside the muff.

Might have to try the "new" design ones

Lobster claw style gloves/over mitts are a lot warmer than conventional fingered gloves.

Oxford tourer grips on my Forza. Much better than lobster claws.

Hi Steve
oxford do some specially for scooters,i think they called heated grips light,
they draw smaller current 1.5amps and only have high or low switch ,but i e fitted them
to a vision 110c shmode125 and sh125i and they work well on the high setting.
Cheers Solar
