Ignition switched supply for oxford heated grips

If you remove the pass switch on the left hand switch housing you have room to fit the round rocker switch in the his housing. This makes for a very clean installation. Since in the day time I ride with high beams on the pass switch was of know use to me plus flashing your high beams at a car you intend to over take seems to produce a rather random out come. I traced out the diameter of hole I would need with a scribe and then trimmed it out with a Dremel, test fitting the switch as I went. Much safer then trying to drill a hole that large in a piece of plastic.

The empty three wire plug under the nose fairing is intended for the factory heated grips. I cut of the plug and wired into the power here. There are three wires, 12v hot, 12v signal, & Ground. The 12v hot use the fuse in the fuse box marked for the heated grips but remains hot even when the bike is off. So I wired in a 12v relay using the signal wire to switch the 12v hot with the ignition. This will prevent dead batteries if I leave the heated grips on or if a passer by feels the need to flip switches on my bike; it's happed before! You will be able to tell which is the 12v hot and 12v signal by pulling the heated grip fuse and seeing which wire remains hot.

this is untrue if the grips are oxford hot grips they should wire str8 to the battery with the red live and black earth ringlet terminal gd luck

I KNOW EIGHT PEOPLE ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT MAKES (THEY DONT WORK) INVEST IN A GOOD PAIR OF GLOVES.
GOOD LUCK.

You must have wired them into the same circuit as the tachometer
Wire the grips direct to switch & battery only


Hope this helps
