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 ;-)
