Personally Oxford touring heated grips.. even when on heated they are very comfy, but heated they stop any finger tingles/vibes you get on motorways ..also when you get caught out in rain warm gloves make all the differtence.

I went for original Suzuki ones in the end from Robinsons, might get heated in future, but not Oxford, dont want extra control box on handlebars.

Thank you for replies!

The extra control box is what makes it the better choice...you can select different settings but best of all it turns off after 60 secs of no use so it won't drain the battery. But then useful may not be art!

These from Ultimate Addons have the integrated controller and when powered through the Healtech Thunderbox will switch off when you switch off the bikes ignition.

I’ve got a set on the Speed Trip and they’re excellent and have the “Art” needed for the Kat :D :D :D
