HG have hot grips at £29.99 instead of £49.99 and you have the choice of the older dial operated ones or with the newer push button control.
They’re cheaper than on ebay 
I just hope my bike’s electrics can cope 
Wuss 
But a (hopefully) warm handed wuss 
Let you off then
I thoroughly recommend them - nothing worse than the cold to affect concentration. Kept me nice and toasty on the Boxing-day Burn-off! I use muffs as well, leave them on all year round. But then I am a scooter-wuss…
Nothing wrong with muffs 
Is that online or in the shop or both??
I’m pretty keen after my hands getting so cold yesterday!!
Santa bought me some Hot Grips.
I fitted and road tested them yesterday. I had my Summer gloves on and after warming up on 75% power, I dropped them to 50% for the next hour and they work well. Nice toasty warm hands on the way to work now! 
That’s the in store price.
If you are after Oxford Hot Hands (the over grip heated wraps), you may as well take out a 6 month subscription for Bike magazine as you get a set free

I’m tempted to subscribe anyway if anyone wants to buy a set of Hot Hands…
Just one point. If anyone gets them, then ignore the enclosed instructions which tell you to connect them directly to the battery & instead connect them via a relay to a switched live feed, 'cos otherwise you’ll forget to switch them off one day & you’ll come back to a bike with a flat battery, or kids/chavs will turn them on when the bike’s parked up & you’ll come back to a bike with a flat battery…
The set I’ve got says there is a sensor that detects if the battery power is getting low and it switches the grips off, even if the handlebar grip is on - just in case they do get switched on when the bike isn’t running. Maybe it’s a feature they’ve added to the new ones?
Still not sure whether to risk fiddling with the ignition wiring though. 
I’m sure Charlie would be able to offer advice or even wire them in safely - for a fee!
I hear rumours some London dude is selling heated grips on Ebay cheap that look remarkably like genuine Honda/Suzuki/Kawasaki ones and piss on the oxford ones quality wise.
Chris has a set so ask him for details.
Still in stock at 2.30 today. My dealer is doing a 12,000k service tomorrow and has agreed to fit the heated grips for only £25 more than their standard service charge.
Have fitted mine this evening, I was replacing my previous set of Oxford heated grips which had worn out after 5 years. As the new version requires 13v to operate I couldn’t use the existing feed as that was from a regulated circuit (12v).
I have wired them using a two way relay switch, when the ignition is live the relay switches on the grips when the ignition is off the relay switches to a Datatool charger socket so I can just plug in the datatool charger when needed.
The digital switch is mounted to the VFR using the provided bracket fitted to the Clutch lever mounting all the wires are mounted tidily under the top yoke out of sight.
Overall I am really impressed with the latest version of the Oxford Grips.
The existing feed that I couldn’t use now provides the power for two waterproof 12v accessory sockets
I won’t recommend the new version then. 
Why was it so hard to find an unregulated ignition switched feed?
It isn’t.
Brake light circuit, direct off battery etc.
you mean some bikes don’t have heated grips as standard 
show off.
I love my heated grips and even considered getting muffs for the winter but it hasn’t go that cold yet.
I have been told that the Oxford grips are just the same as the manufactures grips.
A bikes electric circuits (lights, Horn etc) pretty well all run at 12 volts, if you pump 13.5 volts through your lights etc you’ll be constantly blowing bulbs, however your ignition circuit (spark plugs etc) run at some pretty high voltages.
To manage all of this the bike is fitted with a regulator rectifier, this takes in the voltage from the battery and charging system and regulates the voltage into different circuits so you lights etc are always at 12 volts and the regultor produces 13.5 volts back to the battery so that it maintains its charge.
Taking a feed from a lighting circuit used to be fine for the Oxford grips but no longer as it must be from a 13 volt source, the easiest is the battery but even though the grips wont heat if the engine is not running they will still draw current if left on. The best fitting solution is a relay where the feed is direct from the battery and the switch is powered from the brake light circuit or similar
