Great video, well edited. Thanks for sharing. Curious to see how well the suppled super glue holds up. Saw another video where they said to use Gorilla glue because the supplied glue fails in short time. I will be ordering these for my T7 soon. Keep up the good work!
Many thanks for your video, I've done these before but this is the first time utilising Oxford EL690's, I've always used R&G here in the UK as they are good quality and half the price but unfortunately don't do Adventure specific grips which are a bit longer. Thank You.
@@PointsUnknownTV Yessir! I installed Oxfords on my Rally 300; I have Tusk Chub bars on that bike, and it was challenging (the left side was too tight and I had to file the inside of the grip and the right side has a throttle tube with ‘bumps’ on it, so I had to sand that down and also file the inside of the right grip). It looks like it’ll be MUCH easier on my T7! On my Rally, the Oxfords with Hippo Hands spoiled me…so I need to show the big brother the same love! 🤙😎
Yeah. I'm a big fan of heated grips. And I did my own version of DIY hippo hands ruclips.net/video/i_CDiYhQHCI/видео.htmlsi=npNDB9AHNzJrQ6xb. How do you like the HH? Are they worth the money?
@@PointsUnknownTV Yep. The Hippo Hands were not cheap but WAY better than expected…I have the medium size (rogue, I believe). I can swap them between bikes in a couple of minutes and they work equally as well on either bike. Combined with heated grips, they’re just awesome. I like to ride with my summer Klim gloves, and I can do that just fine and in total comfort with Oxfords and the Hippo Hands down to 30 Degrees F.
@@PointsUnknownTV thanks for the fast response. You're the best! I figured that much but wasn't sure. Saw another guy wire up to AUX but still use the fuse on the Oxfords, then began to question myself haha
@@PointsUnknownTV well... I went to try this install and it appears on the 2024 tenere they don't include the dummy connector... Such BS. Theres a rubber piece instead of the dummy connector. I ordered the male pins and came to find out the bike doesn't have the dummy plug. Rather than waiting another week and a half for cycle terminal to order the dummy plug, what would I do if I used the ones you listed on Amazon (since those only have 2 spots for wires?) Would you leave the 3rd "hot" still connected to the old aux power and move the 2 I need for the grips over to that Amazon plug you linked? Thanks again for the help. I also don't want to pay shipping on another order from cycle terminal but maybe that's just best
I'm sorry. I didn't know. 3 options that I can think of. 1) leave the extra wire in the OEM plug, as you mentioned. 2) wire both hot wires into the hot side of the Amazon plug. 3) wire up two Amazon plugs (split the ground). So your ready for the next accessory! I think any of those would work just depends what you want it to look like when you're done.
@@PointsUnknownTV Thanks again man. I'll see what I can do. I really appreciate your help! No need to apologize for not knowing the '24 doesn't have the dummy connector. Are they really that strapped for saving a few pennies... Yikes! You've been a big help
Do I need to order the connector to connect to the auxiliary power? It looks like you can connect without them, but I’m not sure, never installed heated grips before…
Yes. You will need a connector if you want to use the OEM connector. Depending on the year of your bike you will either just need pins or need the full connector. See other comments in this thread. You could always hardwire, directly wire to wire. With no connector. But that might be a bit committing.
Great tutorial. Thanks for making this feel doable enough to try and clear enough for a novice like me to succeed.
It's totally doable! Just be patient and methodical and it will turn out great!

The supplied glue has been fine for me in the past. I dint like using gorilla glue because it foams and expands.

Fantastic! I'm glad it helped!
Well done video.
Thanks for sharing ❤
You are so welcome. Hopefully you now have happy warm hands this winter!
Great video - Thanks!
Glad it helped!

Is the switch panel cableenough long for being mounted on the left side of the TFT ?
Yes. Whatever side you want.
Sorry, noob here. Why don't you need the fuse when using AUX connector? Doing this install tomorrow. Thanks!
That connector is already fused in the main fuse box on the bike. Two fuses in series is not needed. It's a 10amp fuse.
