Heated grips

Recommended Posts

I ensured mine were on big bike set up. They will be coming off, I also have a KTM 890 clutch perch and lever assembly that will be going on too.

I have the Koso and the only thing I did not realize when I bought and then installed, was the thickness of the grip.  It is considerably thicker and a larger circumference than the Oxford's on my buddies bike.  Not sure I would have bought them had I known.  I do not have big meat hooks.  They work well (although I find I bump the switch inadvertently and either turn it on or off), look good but I find them a bit chunky.  

Anyone else notice this?

I noticed this too and assumed was in my own head, got used to it quickly

 

 

I just received my Koso Apollo grips and noticed their thickness immediately. Bummer. After riding thin diameter heated grips on an F800GS, a R1200GS, and a Husky 901 Expedition - and trail riding on a KTM 250XCFW -  the Koso's seem a step back to the old days of overly thick dual sport grips. Now I'm considering a street grip with separate heating elements underneath - or maybe the Oxfords, but I'm worried the Oxfords might be too thick as well. Can someone measure the diameter of their Oxfords and post it?
