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.
