Heated Grips

Update: We won't be using the outrageously overpriced Suzuki grips.  We will be using Oxford Heaterz (Hot Grips OUTSIDE the USA).  These grips are very nice.  Slightly larger diameter, soft rubber, install easily, and an adjustable heat controller.  We also installed fuse boxes and relays to shut off all of our acceessories when the bikes are off.

 

Installation Notes:

  • See our electrical page for fuse box/relay instructions and info
  • I cut the factory grips off with a razor.  Trying to remove them for future use would be a huge waste of time.  If anybody has successfully done this I'd be impressed.
  • I used a Dremel to grind down the Suzuki throttle sleeve.  It has grooves and some other features that prevent the Oxford grips from going on.  Nice of Suzuki to do that to us.
  • I used enamel remover to remove the factory grip glue from the left handlebar.
