Looking to replace with some of those elements that go under grips (ive been saying that for months)
What he said. The Oxfords are good in the heat department but crap in the comfort department. I don't mind the diameter,
it's just they are very solid compared to non heated grips and transmit every vibration through to your hands.
I noticed this when I fitted them to my 690, no vibes or aching hands before, aching hands and vibes after fitting.
Once I have finished doing the garage I will be pulling my bike apart and hopefully sorting the issue.

Greetings,

Thanks for your advice 'garyboy', I have added an extra earth lead as you suggested. One as in the picture and the other to the coil mounting bolt inside the frame for protection.

TTFN

Hugh.
