I remember reading here the various lengths of different models of Oxford Heated Grips. Does anyone know where this was posted or better yet, the lengths of these grips? I did a search for 'Oxford' and 'Heated Grips' and came up dry.

Thanks.

I measured my stock grips and they are 5". Was wondering if it was better to get them slightly shorter or longer?

Like I said I like the grip on mine and size. They fit very snug, especially the throttle side so dry fit them first and note that the glue sets fast. Really read the instructions first and follow them.

I got the Adventure grips, using with the OEM honda controller. They fit perfect, though you can trim the ends a bit if too long in your app.

Did you have to trim the grips or shim the ends to keep the throttle from binding with the end weights installed?

I have a throttlemeister lock and had to trim the throttle side a few mm.
A cramp buster thingy covers my shoddy cut job lol
The left side I left full length and it fit nice to the weight.

Also note the diameter of the grips. The smaller of the two is the one you want (can't remember the exact diameter) but Honda's are smaller than the cruiser grips.

The adventure grips are about 1/8” longer than my stock non-heated grips. They fit nicely after I shimmed out the end weights with a couple washers I cut in half.

I didn’t want to trim the grip down because the end weights diameter would be longer leaving a slight step.
