Short question: this
is the ST1100 corner, right?
So, gremlins struck also in my neck of the woods, LHS OEM grip heater gave in...
They're quite off age, I moved them from my prev '92 ST1100 (note:
eleven hundred...), so about 30 years duty... not bad I'd say, not bad at all...
Anyway, what to replace the elements with?
OEM aren't avail anymore (RHS is but I need the 22mm LHS...)...
In aftermarket ones Oxford seem to be the choice, not sure about the model... in particular I'm not sure about the integrated controller with my big paws, and rather keep the OEM bug which wheel can be easily operated during odd conditions with thick gloves on...
Also odd that current heaters come with the throttle tube installed... will this even fit?
In this I stumbled over an OEM kit for the NC 750... P/N 08T70-MKW-D00, of course for an obscene amount of money...
Found aftermarket ones for a more reasonable amount and ext controller, enabling reusing my old OEM one:
The Keenso OTOH are really cheap, but look like a DIY project...
Daytona look slick, but hindering the use of my SENA RC4 clip-on remocon, and I'm also not sure if the surface isn't uncomfortable when wearing thin summer gloves...
What's the quality of the aftermarket grips? Will the rubber weather off within just one season or are they as durable as the Honda ones??
