And the bike had blown over in the strong winds! :'(
About £200 of damage.
Got the spares, has anyone got any bright ideas for getting heated grips off?
Cheers,
Stu

If not get a thin long flat blade screwdriver and put between the grip and twist/bar and keep turning the driver, it'll work it's way around breaking the seal/glue that holds it and then you'll be able to pull them off

Do you mean getting the heated grip off the bar, or off the twist grip?
I never bother taking heated grips off the throttle tube as it tends to knacker both in a lot of cases. I just replace the throttle tube.
Off the bar it's a case of getting them warm, using thin screwdriver to break the seal with the glue, then squirting some GT85 in if they're still sticky.
