Not very exciting but i removed the heated grips today.

Standard ones fitted. Only £18 for the set, which includes the housing as well as the grips...

At Donny i was having 'feel' issues with them and in a couple of corners they felt really 'fat' as i was shifting and moving, for example on the exit of the chicane, i wanted to change from 4th > 5th and because i was still hanging off while getting onto the straight bit, i was struggling to get a proper grip on the bars to grab clutch for the change, (i know, clutchless changes, but no... i don't do them, don't like them), so went out and got the skinnier standard grips to stick on.

Did you just glue them on, as assume you had to dremel the tubes again?

The throttle side comes as a whole unit, grip and housing pre built. The clutch side is just a rubber grip.

So clutch side glued on. Throttle side goes into housing.
