Would like any opinions you might have, and any general comments on hotgrips are very welcome.
I'm going to fit hotgrips on my MT07, but not sure which ones to use. I had the full premium ones on my MT03, but the controller on them failed and Googling it, seems like a common problem. The grips cost £75ish, and a replacement controller is about £40.
The advantage is that (when it works) the controller has 4 heat settings. It is an electronic rather than mechanical unit.
I also have a 'commuter' set on my 125cc scooter, which were about £32, and as far as I'm concerned work really well. They work via a mechanical switch, which has off, low and high settings.
The question I have is this; Oxfords blurb says the commuter grips are for bikes with 'Smaller batteries and lower powered charging systems'. Does this mean you CAN'T put them on a bigger bike? I prefer the simple mechanical switch version, and on my scooter the two settings are more than enough for what I need.
Any thoughts, or any alternative suggestions?
