    Hi Bob,
    My 990 is fitted with the KTM grips which have two settings, 'start' which gets em nice and HOT and 'run' which does more of a 'just warm' so I usually end up switching between the two!!
    My AT had Oxford grips with the variable switch and gotta say they were better at giving a constant supply of heat to the digits!!
    Roll on the sunny days and thin gloves!!
    Cheers,
    Norm.

    thank you Norm.

    in the end I'm gonna go for the KTM grips as they're straightforward to fit and are the same thickness as the original grips.

    I fitted KTM grips yesterday Big up for AMS (KTM dealer Tewkesbury), ordered the grips 16.00 hrs Tuesday and they were delivered 09.00 Wednesday.

    Unfortunately I dropped the bike twice on Tuesady on black ice, low speed drops so no real damage but my leg is sore

    Roll on summer .
