Hi there, Thank you for this instruction video. I'm about to buy this product to. I am also getting old so my hands want more heat when I drive around here in Sweden. Stay safe and healthy.
Good tip on the air hose. I'm not putting on heated grips yet but I do have a need to pull the grip on throttle off on the right side and your video came up in my search. I laid it down in a deep mud puddle and I think I got dirt in there. there is a lot of resistance to twisting the throttle.
Thanx fr d video...Just wanna know which Throttle Lock Brand are u using?It wld really help me a lot. Thanx in advance. And yeah,do keep up d good work..Tc
Hi, the ones i bought were called adventure, but as you see i had to cut them down a bit, 132mm long . ive been told that the sport version are 123mm and the tourer are 120mm long, but all are equal on grip and heat,
Hey Wulf, was installing the oxford grips and ran into a problem on the throttle side. There's a higher ring at the end of the tube which the original grip was placed over. There's a groove in the original grip to fit this ring. In your video, that section seems to be either under the throttle lock or removed. If you can what I am refering to, how would you deal with it? It gets in the way... Thanks!
Where did you tuck away all the connectors? I've installed these on a couple of previous bikes with no hassles, but I'm finding the AT has limited space below the bars/behind the headlights. Nice vid btw.
Hi how are the grips holding up? I just fitted these on my 2019 CB500f today, took me almost 2 hours from start to complete. I must say they are nice and hot! Good thing I didn't have to cut the grips to accommodate the bar ends. However on the throttle side I had to improvise a bit by using washers to give a bit of a gap against the bar end and was able to tighten the screw freely was Very pleased! For the record, I did watch your video before I installation on mine. Thanks!
Hi Jeremy glad the video helped and yes they are great mate. I recently came back from a trip through the alpine forest and snowy mountains still wearing my summer gloves but using the heated grips hands like toast.. Enjoy buddy 👍👍
@@fieraria hi Buddy. Im not sure i bought a 1978 honda from USA and it was on it. I robbed it and adapted for the twin. I know its made by atlas but not sure when this style was made. But yes its been great
nice for the install tutorial but i cant help but notice that the poor africa twin looks like a damn mess with cables sticking out everywhere on the dash and ugly accessories attached to every part of it.
@@WulfOnTheRun idk,i have a 2020 africa twin myself and the machine is a beauty so it kind of hurts on the eyes seeing it like a pack mule. but nevertheless,i got a pack of oxford grips myself and this video helped on getting started with fitting them so cheers
DON'T wire these directly to the battery!!.........Make sure you wire these up through a relay connected to your ignition as even turned off, the control will still draw a small current which will flatten your battery over a period of time (Week).......
Taz Man is right, had mine fitted by the bike shop and my battery went flat overnight, they connected to my ignition, all good now, don’t take the chance👍
Thanks for your comment but the bar ends come with the barkbuster hand gaurds. They are designed to hold the gaurds to the handle bars. Its an adventure bike that as been over many a rock and mud been dropped a few times. If i wanted pretty ide have bought a cruiser and polished it every weekend like a sad arse.
@@WulfOnTheRun I like that reply, I have bikes to ride in whatever weather as long as it's not slippy with ice I'm not a polisher, I realise how difficult it would be to cut the grip dead square after you fitted it but it was stuck fast and you had no choice. I'm going to fit these to my Royal Enfield Bullet scrambler as soon as possible.
@@WulfOnTheRun I picked up my Oxford adventure grips on the way back from work tonight and fitted them, I got the accelerator grip stuck with about 20mm to go but I never used any glue so tomorrow when I have a bit more room to work (I was in my cluttered garage) I'll see if I can sort it out .
@@WulfOnTheRun I used mine for the 1st time this morning and when I got to work I managed to push the accelerator side on all the way an yes the left side was slipppin about due to me not gluing it at all the heat loosened them off a bit they where nice and hot but my fingertips were cold.
