Awesome Video Buddy, you always do an fine job with your production and lighting. Just wondering how these would fit on the standard bars? Is there anything to know such as lengths?
I’ll have a measure up for you and send you a pic of them against a standard monkey.. the bars would need new holes drilled in them to move the switch gear inward… can’t see it being an issue though!
Don't know why people would want them connected to the battery, instead of in the head light, so they turn off when you switch the bike off. Don't have to worry about draining the battery.
How hot do yours get? My hot grips pro are really disappointing and don't get anywhere near warm enough. Using a calibrated thermocouple I only get 35 deg C on maximum setting, 10 deg C less than Oxford claim. It doesnt matter if I'm stationary or moving, they max out at 35 deg C. They're getting 12V as they should, but an ammeter test shows their current draw dropping to just 2.3A shortly after starting to heat. It clearly looks like a faulty product to me yet they tell me it's normal. Ive even tried a replacement left grip with the controls in it because the original was missing one of the threaded collars for the electrical connection. The replacement they sent me was missing a different part 😄 Their quality control is absolutely abysmal. Most people with Oxford grips say that they are too hot to really hold with ungloved hands on high setting.
@@SmallboreAndMore very jealous mate. That would be great if you can, would be really good to have some confirmation that others are getting warmer than mine.
I have the same problem with these grips mine are not wired directly to battery not sure if that makes a difference they keep recycling through settings fitted by a motorcycle dealer more heat off cheap R&G ones 😢
And the Daytona grips don’t have thermistors that accurately control the temperature of each grip. The Daytona can also reach crazy hot temperatures, over 90 deg C which will obviously burn skin if not reduced. Used Oxford grips for 20 years for a good reason😊
Wd40 glues as good as hairspray, just fitted Biltwell custom grips on mine and it advises you use wd40 and works spot on.
Good stuff… never heard of using WD40. I’ll try that in the future

The grips turn themselves off automatically👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
200 QUID FOR HAND GRIPS …………..JOG RIGHT ON!!!OXFORD
great video.
which tires did you install?
are they better than the standard tires?
Michelin Power Pure. Much better than the standard Vee Rubbers on the road… but I guess you lose the ability to go light off road.👌🏻
Thanks! Which size for the front and back is the right one?
The standard size is 120/70/12 for the front and 130/70/12 for the rear, however I have a 140/70/12 on the rear

I’m away at the Isle of Man TT at the moment, however when I get back, I’ll get a laser thermometer on them for you.👌🏻

@@wadhammer5538 we’ve just done some tests… very disappointing
@@MrJulianneave did you get sorted I have the same problem
What is the overall length of the grips? 120 mm?
Off their website: Grip length of 132mm but can be trimmed to 123, 120 or 117mm if required, with open ends allowing bar end weights can be fitted
Companies like Daytona had this style of grips for a while now and they don't charge £200 for it 😄
