    I fitted a pair of the R&Gs yesterday to a steet tripple 675R had never seen them before, I would say both of those are the same just diff brand marks! Also fitted some Oxfords last week, the new Oxfords have a batt voltage mon to stop disscharge of the batt even when wired direct to the batt, the R&G are very simple and need to be connected to a 5A switched supply no big deal but a good idea in case you forget to switch them off..! I was tempted to relay switch the Oxfords just for the sake of it but after reading the bumph I choose not too.. The R&Gs worked well but are defo cheap over the Oxfords..

    Dont know about only heating at the palm mate I would not say thats the case with the ones I have fitted the sports grips are not as fat as far as I know. I would say the oxfords are worth the extra money imo.

    The oxfords are really well made. I got a pair about 3 years ago now so don't know if they're the same model Arthur mentioned but mine heated all the way around the circumference. The only hassle was that you had to hold the - button down for for 5 seconds to turn them off. Not easy on the move.

    Neither!

    Fitted these Symtec Motorcycle Heated Grip Kit (round rocker switch) | eBay last summer (well was going to Scotland in June, was so glad i did as had them on almost all the time!)

    Keeps the bike looking original as the grips are retained. Pretty easy to fit, set it up with a relay system so only comes on with ignition.

    Will check but think i might have posted a thread on fitting these (although might have been when i did my Aprillia!)

    Oxford Sports Grip is thicker than the standard grip size. I really like the thicker grip.

    They came on my bike and I have come to really like them alot!!
