fitted the oxford heated premium adventure grips today and have to say just great these are the thicker of the sets they do and was a good choice blanked out any vibrations out and the heat is really good
They are nice. I have touring model of them. Just hate the bracket, so I have to fabricate it myself.
There is my post, regarding bracket:

Just be careful on the throttle side spizz, I had a set and after a few months the grip moved such that the wire - when the throttle was open - was just starting to catch on the brake lever. No worries, just something to keep your eye on.
I'm toiling with the idea of these things, but now I have seen photos of them fitted I very much doubt they will any good for me. I have a tankbag for travelling and I reckon the wires will make contact with the bag, making it a bit ordinary to steer full lock on tight turns, hard enough now as the bars almost touch the bag as it is.

I have Oxford heated grips and have no troubles with a tankbag. I have fitted mine a little differently.
Spizzoil, did you have to trim the grip at all?
yes did have to two the limit the adventure ones are the longest of the grips just make sure you don't go past the mark but I have renthals on so it worked out oem bars not sure
