Oxford Hot grips dont fit???
Got a set of oxford hotgrips as a present ,, decided to fit them on the M750 Today but the right hand one wont fit over the throttle twist tube .
Oxford say use sandpaper to smooth the tube down to 25.5mm but my original Ducati plastic throttle grip tube is 27.3 mm that seems excessive and a lot of work , and irreversable which I dont like , MAYBE an after market twist grip insert for £6 off fleabay might solve the issue ??? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145194100...GSR50SE44QCRBY any one else had this issue ,, My daughter Ninja 650 has the Oxford hot grips and they are good on cold days ...

I recall having a similar problem Jerry, I ended up trimming the throttle tube with a Stanley knife (always cut towards a friend). To be honest I didn't really like the heated grips, I found my palms sweating and my thumbs still freezing, I ended up buying heated gloves, much better, then I sold the gloves and moved to Spain, no heated clothing required ;-)

DaveR fitted some on his 750SS which must surely have the same throttle tube as a Monster? He didn't report any problems.
Re the hot palms/cold finger syndrome; I discovered this when I switched mine on for the first time in mid December when I rode my new bike home. I always buy gloves with enough room to wear thermal inner gloves and the answer turned out to be to wear the inner gloves with the heated grips on. They insulate the raw heat from the grips in my palms, but wick it round to the front of my hands and fingers making it very comfy. I've never used any more than the lowest setting.
