I never found the OEM grips to be lacking in heat. I very rarely turn them up all the way and have used them down to freezing temperatures. I really like them when it is cool and wet. For extended periods at low temps, they keep the palms warm but fingertips and back of hands get cold. No substitute for electrically heated gloves (and jacket liner) for riding close to freezing for any distance.
Where did you manage to source the connectors to make up your loom?OK peeps the results are in. I jerry rigged the Oxford heated grips to test the theory.
The rig looks like a bowl of spaghetti but it worked. I have ordered some cable to match the OEM wiring and will create a loom when it arrives to tidy it all up.
The original OEM grip figures
Left Grip 46.1 C
Right grip 45.5 C
Oxford grips
Left Grip 72.3 C after 10 minutes and still rising
Right grip 62.2 C after 10 minutes and rising
So as you can see the Oxford grips wired in parallel are significantly warmer than the OEMs
Thanks for the reply, the link you provide lists quite a few options, were they the grey 3 way female 040 indicator plugs?
