Does anyone use the Ultimateaddons heated grips?

[PT1984]

As above. They seem a good solution with controls built in to the grip as OE. Means you don’t have the large controller as per Oxford. Twice the price though!

Not used them but I did chance upon the latest issue of Ride magazine where they were testing heated grips.

Ultimate Addons came out top with Oxford in second.

If the Oxford ones are that much cheaper than the ultimate addons ones I’d be going for them instead. They also seem to have quite a neat inbuilt controller too.

Yeah I saw the Ride endorsement. I preferred these as they have no controller at all.

The Oxford one have integrated controls too instead of that old muckle control box.

I was unaware of them until I saw them in an Email from sportsbike.com yesterday.

They look very similar to koso Apollo also sold as technoglobe golds I bought a few years ago.
They work fine, I only use them on the first and second setting, third is a bit hot.

I've had various Koso items in the past. Very good quality products.

I can also recommend the Tecnoglobe Gold grips; they’re a much neater solution.

They look good and I’m in the market for some grips for my Honda NC700. Are they a straightforward install like the Oxfords ?

More so, I’d say, as you don’t have that gopping Fisher Price control panel with the bracket that goes all rusty.

It’s the controller I can’t stand!

Same here - it looks so cheap, like it should be fitted to some kiddies plastic big wheel trike.

I had a CB650F a couple of years back with Honda own brand heated grips - they were very good & integrated with the bike very well, with a discreet push button & small LED indicators. I would assume they would also fit the NC as a lot of the running gear appears to be from the same parts bin....
