Any advice for transferring to new handlebar - heated grips

[map]

Following a spill today lad's bike needs new handlebars.

Going for some affordable Renthal type.
So just wanted some advice on transferring the switches, throttle and the heated grips across.

Can the heating element be removed and refitted or would it be best just trying to get a replacement element (if so what and where)?

The heated grips fitted are Oxford ones.

As said any advice welcome.

Thanks in anticipation

I fail to see a problem here. Take stuff off old bars, put on new.

I'd suggest heating them with their own special built in heating element by means of turning them on and leaving them for a while.

I have heard of someone being given the tip of hooking them straight up to the battery as apparently, even the high setting on the controller is nowhere near as hot as they get. This is hearsay mind so if your handlebars catch fire, don't blame me. I'd suggest applying supervision and common sense if you try this.

Otherwise, all you need is to poke the straw of a can of WD40 up under them and gradually squirt it in as you go, or the end of a compressor blow gun and give it one squirt.

Create initial gap by putting small thin screw driver between heated grip and handlebar

WD 40 down the grip,

Take one wire coat hanger (preferably the ones with a plastic/rubber coating)and cut about 12-15 inches of wire from it.

Smooth any sharp edges created by cutting the Wire coat hanger.

Create 'L' shape from coat hanger wire ( 6 x 6 inches)

Push one side of the 'L' into the gap that was created by the small thin screwdriver. Right to the other end of the grip.

Rotate the other part of the 'L' shaped wire.

The wire will then rotate completley around the grip, detaching the glue as it rotates.

Grip should twist off freely and undamaged in any way.

Works for me

The grips I had on weren't stuck on. The left one twisted but it passed the MOT. Although when I replaced the bars following my accident I did drop some glue there to stop them moving.

Thanks for all the advice.

For some reason I'd been thinking the heating element was something like these images so might get damaged...

After looking around I agree the Oxford ones look more build into the grips...

The ones you posted pictures of that look lik eheated rear windscreen elements are stuck to the bars then have the grips slid over the top of them.

Removing the grips should leave the element in place (held there by being sticky-backed and with a bit of PVC tape wrapped round them.)

That top picture has a scotchlok connector included which tells me exactly what I need to know about it...
