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.  :thumbup

These look identical to the R&G ones; copies or rebranded?

That's exactly why I bought the R&Gs darrsi but with this length issue, I might have to swap them for the Oxfords, although it'd be cheaper to get Renthals if I can't return the R&G! 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.  :'(

Could just be rebranded, I know Oxford rebrand some of their heated grips, exactly the same but cheaper, the fella in the bike shop even told me straight about it a few years back!
A quick solution is to remove the location pin and slide everything down a bit, it's what people do when they use Renthal bars anyway so it's no big deal. Might need some amalgamating tape or something to for the controls to grip to stop it from moving about though.
I'm still using OEM bars but as I said I had my end weight turned down for clearance.
