I know it's been said before but, bar muffs work extremely well if you can stand them, i suffer with bad circulation in my hands and bar muffs with heated grips are overkill for me, alone the muffs work well enough i can wear summer gloves under them, just a thought.

Beat me to it ! Handguards are good too.... but I rode through 2 harsh winters with only muffs and no heated grips and was very impressed. It's just about keeping the wind off your gloves


900 with better bits. Owes me nothing, Makes me smile

Actually i make them fit over the handguards so no problems with the wind pushing them, yep that's it, no wind on your hands either, snuggly.

Thanks Cliff. The new liners have been good so far. But I haven't done anything about above 50 miles at a time. Good excuse to go for a long run. I'll have to tell SWMBO.

+ 1 for relay.....not as consequence of bad experience.....simply paranoia

but hold on a mo, my grips were a freebie , I think from Bike / Ride magazine,
and when about to fit them I discovered a (potential ?) glitch.....

Those particular Oxford grips were the ‘Commuter’ version, it turned out
.......the suggested wiring went direct to the battery which felt questionable,
and as far as I recall, DIDN’T switch off with the ignition, contrary to the Oxford blurb
(I think that was it)..... forget to switch them off.......flatters batters!

........hence the relay, maybe (wiring courtesy of wiseones on here)
(will post a diagram if it would help)
