Heated grips that work well on a small bike ??

[stevew]

Any recommendations from real world users on little 110s and similar.
I have Oxford on the big Maxi Scoot and they are amazing but i know the little Honda Wave's alternator output is definitely insufficient for another set of those!!
So what's out there that works well ??

I thought oxford did a range for smaller bikes as well. Look on amazon

These would be suitable no doubt.

If you swap out incandescent bulbs for led, that will give you a bit of headroom to run accessories.

Cheers Guys, but i am aware of those products that make claim to suit small output alternators but i'm wondering if they really do get warm enough to be worth while ?
That's why i was hoping to hear from people who have actually had and used these on their bike.

No, dont get those. The power draw is the same, the "light" in the product name simply refers to their cheaper construction. For which you pay a premium

You can use any heated grips which have a controller and a low setting. These will be far better than oxford shite. Have used both, I like these lot more.

The reason I recommended those is I know someone with a scooter that has them, never had an issue. Buy them, they will do you proud, less draw than standard Oxford grips. I rate Oxford grips, have some on the GPZ, in 5 years they have never packed up or given me any problems.

I don't think I've ever had my heated grips above 3/5 for very long, they get too hot. That would be both R&G (hard as hell, wear quickly) and oxford touring (nice feel, on 3rd winter, more than twice as many miles out of them than R&G)

R&G grips on an MSX125 and a 55w bulb not the pathetic 35w supplied.

It's fine when running without them on I can see 14.1V (I have a voltmeter) that can drop to 13.5 'ish when running at full heat setting. I don't turn them on until I'm at least a mile down the road. And off at least a mile before I get to work (15 mile trip).

No problems at all. BUT I do use a Lithium battery, which labours a bit in the cold, takes a few cycles to get it to turn over fast enough when it's below zero.

Hope this helps

Or bar muffs, choice is yours.

I had those grips AND muffs on the Varadingdong and it was fucking hot. We are talking tiger balm on your bell end hot.
