Racism got a whole new meaning for me in Coolgardie,” Lina recalls, speaking over the phone from her home in Finland. Discover more great Romantic poetry with Wordsworth’s classic sonnet about Milton, Shelley’s bewitching fragment to the moon, and Keats’s ‘When I have fears that I may cease to be’. It has been a life of triumphs - including two Grammy awards, a multi-platinum album (Anytime ... Anywhere), plus a string of hits - and heartbreak, often fuelled by the men she hooked up with and a torrid six-year marriage to the love of her life, Kris Kristofferson, doomed to disaster as he womanised and battled booze. All these stories - along with her widely reported claims that she penned part of Clapton's hit Layla, but received no credit - are charted in her memoir Delta Lady, from her childhood in Lafayette, Tennessee, to becoming one of the most sought-after vocalists in Los Angeles in the Seventies. She's still performing and is currently on a UK tour. Unfortunately, I was unable to fit the grips to my bars as the throttle grip was extremely tight and only just squeezed on after a lot of twisting. The left-hand one was even tighter and I was unable to fit it. Inside the grips, there are four grooves and while I expect they will be OK to fit to a smooth bar, mine (as have all my previous bikes) are patterned on the end to help the metal grip the rubber. It would take a lot of force, and potentially damaging the grips to get them on.
The ends of the grips will require cutting for anyone with hand guards as they only have a hole for bar ends. Leaving the end in place will result in them not fitting correctly and will hinder throttle movement. They are easy enough to cut through. Be aware not to cut into the heating elements as you will ruin the grips, something that’s not highlighted in the instructions.

Keep in mind that, for this price, you shouldn’t expect too many features. These are 2-stage heated grips with just two different heat settings so they might not be suitable for extreme cold weather. The instructions point out that the live wire is best soldered, but this also points to the wire having to be ‘soldered’ elsewhere (ignition feed) as you would not solder directly to the battery. I added a ring connector and connected it directly to my battery. Coolride hat für fast jedes Motorrad passende Heizpatronen, sei es eine Aprilia, Benelli, Beta, BMW, Buell, Daelim, Derby, Ducati, EBR, GasGas, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Husaberg, Husqvarna, Irbit, Kawasaki, Kreidler, KTM, Moto-Guzzi, MV Agusta, Piaggio, Royal Enfield, Suzuki, Triumph, Vespa, Victory, Yamaha oder Zero. The instructions are relatively poor; just a single A4 sheet of paper and these do not explain how to actually fit the grips. If I hadn’t previously fitted several sets I wouldn’t know where to start as most of the information is regarding the four different types of controllers that are available even though only one is included. There are also bullet points describing artificial rubber which hardly helps when it comes to fitment.
When I fit heated grips I consider them a permanent fixture, but with care, they can be removed safely and easily, though this does, of course, depend on how much glue is applied. Wiring the grips to your battery is probably the hardest part of the whole installation. Depending on your bike, you may have to remove the fairings and seat for better access.Some heated grips are designed to go over the current grips. These aren’t as effective at generating warmth. It’s a better idea to go with a dedicated pair of grips that connect to your battery. Slide each grip as close to the controls as possible. Depending on the fit, you can get a practice run in before applying the glue. Otherwise, apply the glue as directed by the instructions. Despite the higher price, the Koso Apollo Heated Grips are a great choice if you’re looking for the best heated motorcycle grips. While I would still recommend the Oxford Heaterz, these are a suitable alternative. Either way, it’s hard to go wrong with the Koso grips for keeping your hands warm during cold weather and winter riding. BikeMaster Heated Grips with LCD Switch The BikeMaster Heated Grips are a great runner up against the Oxford’s that I just recommended. These are more affordable and a great choice for anybody looking for heated grips on a budget. If you’re having trouble removing the current grips, consider cutting them off entirely. Compressed air, pliers or vice-grips, and WD40 will also make the job easier. Step 2 – Prep the Handlebars
