I'm guessing they're the R&G ones?
In which case -excellent choice and fantastic VFM
(If they're not, then I'm sure that Nooj has picked something equally good)
Hi Dex, do you want them fitted then ?
Fitted by Nooj at a cost of £40
Is that supplied as well??

Will these be wired via a switched live Nooj?
Will probably be late September early October due to Rosies broken wrist.

If they're switched i'll be up for it, the ones on my last bike were not, and i can't count the number of times i had to bump start it.

Count me in then.
I've had heated R&G grips fitted by Nooj, and he does wire them to the switch.
Bloody brilliant they are too! :) :) :)
let me know when you are all going down to Newbury.. I know exactly where Nooj's place is.. I'll lead you all down to him. I have a mate who I can visit in Newbury.. so I'll ride down with you all. :)
I had mine fitted by Nooj and they are fab......and yes they have a switch so no worries about flat batteries........they made all the difference when I went to Wales recently....in torrential rain and strong winds.....they made it possible to actually enjoyed it....I hate cold hands :) :)
I think Mitch is asking if they are switched to the ignition? So, to find out, if the heated grip switch is ON but the ignition switch is OFF, do they still operate?
That's what would drain the battery - if they did still work with the ignition off and you forget to turn them off at the switch ;)
Surprisingly enough I got that Snowy hehe (don't pass out) hehe....mine will not operate when the ignition is off lol ;D ;D

Looks like we have 7, if more people would like this done I'm sure Nooj would do another day. I can highly recommend having heated grips, surprising what a difference it makes, even on chilly evenings in the summer! :)

Ye I know they were an xmas pressy
Happy to do a second day! If you want a Saturday session it's going to be mid October before I can do anything :-s
Is this still on? Looking at November bookings now, so need to know ASAP :o
Mitch9128
18-09-12, 08:06 PM
Can we hurry up, it's getting nippy :)
Could have done with these for Scotland me thinks!
OK, lets say Friday 5th of November for those that can do a weekday, then Saturday 6th of November for those who can't. For (hopefully) four bikes each day.
I'm afraid it will be payment in advance by bank transfer, as I can't buy a load of grips in and then not have people turn up. I'm sure that won't be a problem if you definitely want it doing :-)
Oh, I'm interested in this :D

I can wholeheartedly recommend Nooj and his grips, spot on job and very neat, he even fixes bits that are falling off :)
Any objection to me opening this up to the Hampshire Bikers lot to get the numbers up?
As early as possible but if you cant fit us in till November please put me down for Saturday 3rd. Can you pm me your details Nooj :)
Bonnielass
23-09-12, 07:46 PM
Same for me, as soon as possible please! If you could put some definite dates up we could put our names down! :)
The offer's still open to lead a ride to Nooj's place.. Just gotta get a date sorted..
Those R&G grips are brilliant.. had mine on already!! :) :) :)
Same for me, as soon as possible please! If you could put some definite dates up we could put our names down! :)
Just a thought Rosie.. make sure Nooj can fit grips to your Bonnie.. He couldn't fit them to Di's Street Triple.. might be a Triumph thing.... best check with him??? xx

They were absolute swines to get on the lh grip on my blade, ended up drifting them on, no amount of soap and brute force would do it.

The Speed3 has the grips moudled onto the throttle tube (same as Aprilias). Fitting the heated grips would have meant filing/dremelling the ridges down on the throttle tube. Possible, but tedious and irreversible. Agreed with Di to leave it.
Can Saturday now be classed as fully booked? There's a good 6 hours work there at least and I'd like to leave spare time for any unforseen issues and a few cups of tea :-)
Interested folk, drop me a PM and I'll send payment details through by return. £200 quids worth of grips there, so I'm afraid I need payment in advance.
Have sent some PM's out :-) Anyone who wants doing before Nov, I'll try and fit you in, but it'll have to be in the week as Saturdays are booked solid from now until the end of Oct.
I have read all the PM's about this and WILL reply! will be on Monday though as I'm going to be running about all over the place for the next few days :- :o

heated grips ;D ;D ;D
Think I've got back to everyone :)
So Saturday is now full (pending payments), Friday has one possible I'm waiting to hear back from.
A few people have asked to be done earlier, so I'm trying to fit others in as and when as well.
Hi Nooj,
Should I have had a PM re payment ?
Cheers

Ooops.. just re-read your thread, I'll PM you now !

Hi Nooj,
I wouldnt mind a pair fitted anytime you can squeeze me in on a weekend. I could probably take a day off work. Will need to be in November sometime as im away in october.
I've had an event cancellation, so Saturday 20th Oct is now free if anyone can get over here then.
me down for 20th nooj please
That would be good for me and Rosie too - how many bikes can you fit in Nooj
Four would be nice, so Caz, Rosie, Gooz and one more?
im happy to do the 20th if thats ok.
Mikeellis1709

I've got a headache now :-/
I can do 20th October or the 3rd November (although the 20th would be better) and have paid (as you know Nooj) :)
Just let me know when & where and I'll be there ;)
PS. Caz wants to know if she has to bring her bike as it's a bit cold for riding this weather ;D

I've ordered all the grips from R&G, but they are on back order as they've run out. They've admitted to being 'caught short' and say they're expecting 1000 sets to come in next week, so yours should all be with me by the 16th... fingers crossed!
I'll post up on here as soon as I know either way.

Nooj, what time do you need us there and Goldie, do you want to meet us and ride together?
Game on! They were dispatched to me today :-)
I reckon it takes me about 1 hr 20 mins to do a set on average (provided I don't get any more perished/splitting fuel lines to deal with!). I'll be opening up about 09:00, so as long as I get one person turning up every hour or so, that should do me.
Or you can all turn up together at 09:00 the morning, either is good for me.
Newbury town centre is only a 10 minute walk away, so if you want to go and explore that's fine. Or you can hang around here for the day drinking tea :-)
Also, could you let me know what bikes you'll be on, so I can have a search around the net for wiring diagrams.

Hi Nooj Fireblade 929.- 2001
See you Saturday :)
Ahhhh crap, I thought we were meeting in Trowvegas for grips - was that for cleaning though, right?
I'll have to do some plan juggling for Saturday but not to worry.
Happy to meet and ride over together, Rosie - just let me know where and when. :)
Nooj, I added you on FB today, I'm on a Honda Hornet 600 02plate. See you Saturday :)

To get to Nooj's by 9am, we are going to have to leave Trowbridge by 7.30, we don't have to all be there for 9am but it would be nice if we rode together. What do you all think? Or, if Speedy would be kind enough to take the first place we could leave a little later! :-* :-* :-* I realise that it's just as far for you to get to Newbury so understand if you don't want to get up that early! :)
Goldie, we could meet you in Devizes, just past Wadworths, in the garage (that's not a garage any more) where they clean cars. Unless we are going on the motorway (I'm not keen personally) in which case we could meet at Service Station before dual carriage way.
:o ;D
Good idea Rosie if Speedy can get there first :)
Devizes is fine Rosie, good plan - motorway is a snore fest so that' suits me fine :D
I don't mind leaving early - means I get more of my Saturday back anyway :D Was hoping to be back mid afternoon anyhoo really :o ;D
See you Saturday :-*
hello guys im happy to get there for 9.00am just need directions to nooj"s house, then i can play mum .
I'm still happy to lead you all to Nooj's place.. I know where it is. :)
I'm ok for an early start.. I'm always up early anyway! :)
cheers chris ive googled his place may see you there, or if you want to meet will be going through hungerford about 8.30 ;)
Whoops....that'd be me then :-? :-? :-? Sorry Nooj :-/ :-/
Not just you, it happened again with someone else ::) Wasn't me lifting the tank that time though!
Directions!
Best thing to do is search for Shiny Bike Syndrome on Googly Maps (http://goo.gl/maps/BCbmL).
Ignore the star, it's the house just above and to the right of the 'A' pin/bubble thing.

Thanks for doing the early slot Speedy! :-* That means we can leave a little later!
Thanks Toph for offering to take us to Nooj's, we will meet at Mc'D's for a prompt 9am and meet Goldie at Devizes at 9.15ish, hope this suits everyone! :)
depart at 9 am it is!! :)
It's about an hour and 10 minutes to Nooj's.. barring any hold-ups, so we should be at Nooj's about 10.15.
I won't be riding back with you all , as I have to meet a friend at Newbury and be home by 2pm.
See you all Saturday morning! :)
coolio - see you there :D
I have a customer coming in to see me now at 10.00am so will head on over as soon as he leaves (expect about 10.45) so will be with you about noon for lunch ;)
Will call you mobile if you are in town.
Caz: Plans remains the same, will pick you up at 8.30-8.40 ready to roll :-*
G :)
Weather looks to be better than today, will have the kettle primed and ready!
See you tomorrow :)
So how did it go Hotgrips :)
OMFG, do they do heated seats? :D
OMFG, do they do heated seats? :D

Just want to say thanks to nooj as he fitted my heated grips yesterday. Very nice chap and he did a great job making sure it's done right instead of quickly. This is definitely the man for any jobs you may have.
Nooj anychance of doing a mobile visit to trowbridge sometime soon please would love the bike cleaned but Newbury and back yould totally destroy your work at present, im sure we could keep you busy dude. :)
Frost, stop embarrassing me :-p Glad you're happy with the results though.
Have sent you a PM, Gooz :-)

Thanks for the excellent service yesterday, Nooj. My hands were toasty warm on the way home and I was even able to turn them down, they worked so well!
Nice to meet you and the Earl Grey was much appreciated.
I'll be back for a helmet when mine needs replacing!
Had chance to try my new grips out for the first time yesterday and very impressed. At half heat they were warm enough even though it was fairly chilly on the way home.
So that's 3% of my body warm, next to work on the other 97% :)
Many thanks Nooj [smiley=thumbup.gif]
No point Gerry theres no blood in the rest of your body :)
