I've just fitted a pair of 'Oxford' heated grips, only last weekend. Took all of about 90 mins. So easy and no issues. They cost £45 for the deluxe sports version. You can get 'Adventure' and 'Touring' versions, but they all seem much or a muchness...
The 'Sport' versions I have are hot. At 100% they were too hot on a 5Deg night, with my Rukka winter gloves on.
They required no cutting, although I have non-Std 'Bars. I used a two-part High temp epoxy, instead of the 'super glue' that comes with the kit. Only because I messes up before with a pair years ago and got them stuck half on! The epoxy gives you a bit more working time but still goes off after 5 mins.
The controller fits neatly onto to the clutch leaver handle bar bracket and has a built in safety cut off if you leave them on after you kill the engine... as I did after I first used them them, and I can verify that it worked and battery was saved.
Not as neatly wired, I suspect, as the OEM ones but, the price difference would buy you a heated jacket and a weekend away...
