Heated grip switch

[Sgoaty]

I bought myself a set of oxford heated grips from Halfords about a month ago and I had a look at them today to see how how I would fit them.

I can see nowhere to mount the controller that doesn't look like a bodge.

Does anyone know where i might pick up a rocker switch with 2 resistance settings? ive tried looking on Maplins/ebay but no luck. Might phone Shirlaws in the morning to price a triumph one.
Thanks

ON the Mille I managed to reshape the oxford bracket and attach it to the bike using the bolt for the clutch resevoir.

I cut the bracket down and mounted it backwards on the bolt .

Give me 30 mins and I will get a picture for you .

(BTW it is 4king freezing outside)

As discussed on the phone the metal bracket in the new style grips may give you more options than the plastic one.

I still had to cut it down a bit though.

Im sure ill manage to do something similar. Ill have to make my own bracket though.
Thanks for being helpful as ever Dave

Poor quality phone pic but you get the idea Ive figured out how to wire up a switch for 2 settings if it all goes pear shaped.

Looks like halfords are selling old stock if you have the controller with the knob.

There is a bit more to the electronics in the box than a simple switch & resistors.

Yes it was a scabby looking box at Halfords in Peterhead. I thought about buying them a few times and eventually checked the price with my trade card and they were around £35 so i thought why not still got the 2 year guarantee and i think it will be less fiddly with the knob.

I know there will be a fair bit to the electronics in the box but im sure it would work with a simple 3 way switch set up to work in series or parallel for a low/hi setting.
