Oxford Hot Hands instructions

[Cruiser]

Hey everyone,

Ive just bought some Oxford Hot hands heated grips, went to go and fit them to the bike.. and the guy who sold me them forgot to put the instructions back in the packet after showin me the grips lol.

Does anyone know where i can get an online version of the instructions? Ive looked on www.oxprod.com but they aint got the instructions for the hot hands, any help much appreciated!!!!

Cheers,
James

All you need is to wire up the power supply direct to the battery.. Rest are on plug in fittings so you cant go wrong.

is that the same as wiring it to the ignition?
i was gonna wire it to the battery cos i know absolutley nothing about electrics, and just make sure i turn them off wen engine aint runnin lol.

Hi

You could wire them to a circuit that is powered when the ignition is on but that is a fair extra load on a circuit that might not take it.

Personally I would use a relay (basically an electrically operated switch. You feed power to the relay directly from the battery and earth the grips directly to the battery. However you trigger the relay with a feed from a circuit that is only powered when the ignition is on (such as the feed for the brake light switch). This way the extra load on an existing circuit is tiny.

i`ll look into the relays ta mate, i seriosly have no idea about doing that but sounds a better idea lol. the guy i bort them off said could wire it to the horn, but thought maybe the horn wudnt be as loud if i needed it an they were switched on, cheers for the help mate much apreciated

Hi

Depends on the horn. Some just have a single wire and earth through the body of the horn, and these will only get power when the horn button is pressed. Some (most) have 2 wires, but may not have power all the time, only being fed when the button is pressed, while some will have power all the time and have the switch on the earth side.

Personally I tend to use the power feed for the rear brake light switch.

All the best

I wired mine directly to the battery, but a mechanic said to wire it into the rear brake light. Hopefully I can convince my dad to do it.
