If you have a bit of mechanical ability and some common sense it's really quite easy. Instructions were adequate, and I don't know why so many people have been bitching about the install. The "intelligent" controller can tell when the engine is stopped and switches the grips off for you.
#Oxford deluxe heated grips install
The battery saver feature works well and makes it a very simple install - no need for a relay. Material and grip feels good as expected from the adventure version and goes well with an enduro style bike. Had to trim about 5mm off the length of the grips as I have hand-guards fitted, but the grips allow for that. The adjustments are quite fine so getting the right amount of heat is easier than on most brands. I imagine when weather warms up, it might need turning down one more. After 10 mins I have to turn them down one notch, sometimes two. Had a few runs out in sub freezing, and grips heat up quick. As it happens a thin smear of UHU works a little like a lubricant whilst tacky, but was set solid after 24 hours so worked quite well. I decided to use UHU multi-purpose glue on the throttle side as the fit was a bit more snug and I thought the superglue provided might be a problem if it set before I got the grip fully seated. The left hand grip fitted perfect and was such a good fit it did not need adhesive. Took about an hour to fit, because it has no fairing and tank + seat come off with just one bolt. I bought these for my Harley Davidson MT350.
