Hi all, Currently fitting some R&G Heated grips to my '02 foxeye to get me through the winter up here...While checking all the bits for fit and size noticed the R&G grips are a full 10mm longer than the existing grips (125mm vs 115mm as standard). I'm kinda nervous about chopping this amount off the grip for fear of cutting through the heating element; and the controls won't go inboard due to the notches on the bars so has anyone got any advice so get by this issue? Has anyone come across this before?Have the standard bars fitted which I like so wasn't wanting to have to get Renthals or similar just to get warm hands.Cheers
While we're on the subject, i fitted these heated grips to my bike a few months ago and they are THE best ones i've ever used by far.Stupidly warm, with about 5 settings, and so far i've never gone past the 3rd setting 'cos they're so bloody hot, even with winter gloves on.100% recommended, and a bargain too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DR-BIKE-HEATED-GRIPS-MOTORCYCLE-MOTORBIKE-KEEP-WARM-UNIVERSAL-22MM-FIT-/140679718518?hash=item20c12a2676:m:mIASsqFU_45thVg02WMDjrQ

What bars are you and infiniteloop running?Just spoke to R&G who said I could maybe take 5mm off, but they'd still be overhanging the bar by 5mm.
Have you considered drilling another hole in the handlebars to fit the notch in the original switchgear on, you would just need to drill it same diameter inline with the original hole to suit the lenght of the hotgrip.
