Got the hot hands velcro type as well. Dead easy to fit. I think you loss a little "feel" on the throttle due to the increase in grip diameter but I couldn't ride in the cold without them. I paid about £30.

Sorry, no pics but will try to take some for you this weekend. No promises though as I have a bit of a heavy weekend planned :bouncy:

heated grips because it\'s cold today you know!!
 
Looked into this for my st4s, the guys at Moto Rapido tied to fit Multistrada ones and they don't go on, but I was down there last week and a Ducati spares lady was there, she informed us there was a genuine ST specific heated grip kit, so contact Craig on 01962 877998 he has the part numbers required

My bike had the Oxford grips fitted when I bought it - they only have the switch and LED rather than the luxury of a thermostat.
The standard switch setup looked awful so I pulled it to bits and used the bits along with a 12V garden lighting connector box from B&Q to make this.....
It mounts on a hole tapped into the leading edge of the yoke that Ducati thoughtfully installed for me!

UPDATED Heated Grips
 
Eventually I bought Daytona heated grips, £45, I managed to remove the OE grips without damaging them. I have not glued the Daytonas on as they are so tight and I cant see them moving. The throttle grip needed fettling with the B & Q dremmel, both are fixed on using the OE bar ends. I soldered the live wire to the aux. outlet socket wiring on the underside of the fuse box and the negative to the headlight/chassis. I made a simple angle bracket from stainless which is bolted to the tapped hole in the centre of the handlebars and the control switch is glued to it.

Havent actually ridden the bike yet but in the garage they worked a treat.

Thanks to everyone for their tips and information and James who assisted throughout the head scratching stages and tidied up the bracket.
