If you want your original grips, I much prefer the symtec ones to the the Oxfords.

I put them on my BV350 and am very pleased with them. You also need to buy some grip glue to slide the grips back on.

Hein Gerricke have a sale on their heated grips this weekend £29-99 instead of 49-99

Might be worth looking at, I don't have the details of who manufactured them etc

Somebody might recognise the brand from these pics:

I don't know anything about them and never fitted them, just noticed them in the mail shot they sent me.

I've got factory fitted Suzuki ones and like them - there are no muscles in your fingers to generate heat so a little boost can make all the difference, especially when you misjudge it and leave home in your favourite gloves instead of your warmist :(

Those HG ones are Oxford ones... just be careful which controller they come with. If it's the turn knob one, then it's fine.

I'll vouch for that, the button control is shite.

I've got Oxford ones with a three-way toggle button, it seems to do about 1/4 power and full power. It's very discreet though and while a bit more control might be nice it works fine!! Much nicer grips than the original too IMO.
