Need to fit a pair for the cold weather.

Ant suggestions on a decent easy to fit/use pair?

I've had Oxford Hot-Grips on since I bought my R11, Control box isn't exactly pretty, but they have a variable warmth setting, went on easy, and I've had no issues with them,
Anything from £40 - £70 (ish) depending on the kit you want and where you buy

Used Oxford ones for a few years prior to getting the R12S. They work well, but the controller went on mine which seems to be prone to failure ,although I think the new ones have a different controller which may be better.

Thanks for the comments. I had some HotGrips on my VFR of dullness. I was just looking at a pair of R&G ones on the Bay. They look really neat.

Will look some more.

i'v had 3 sets of oxford, all failed with a couple of years use (cold spells only, pretty much fair weather rider)
and had R&G ones of ebay, i'v swapped of the last 3 bikes. for 7 years now. currently in a box in the attic, as there is fitted grips on the RT.

i got my R&G ones back then for £17 , now about £30.

son got his bike with oxfords fitted(apparently only on a month when he got it) and they were scrap in a year. the mid line box has fried on every one i'v seen.
the r&g's can go on his bike next month.
