Turns signals look much better!  I have been thinking about cutting the whole mud flap off on mine.  I've got the inner one so it's really just an additional ugly piece.  ZX50 also, no license plate needed either.

trust me guy's, with the weather in this country you need the mudguard!!!! lol

With 30 F. , I believe hand warmers are more a mental comfort. If oxford had a face warmer I might bite! Ps  You can find the sweet spot when cutting the mud guard. Too far and you have a "skunk stripe"

Respectfully disagree.

I ride throughout the whole year and in the winter, morning temperature when I go to work is usually 23 - 32 F.
There is a dozen days when temps go to 18F, the lowest I have seen and was driving at was 12F.

When the temperature is below 46 F, I have grave issues with my hands. I have tried many things, several layers of gloves etc, nothing helps except heated handgrips. I've had two types on my Beverly 200, now there is one set on Agility and I have Oxford wraps on my People 250S, just like the ones shown on the picture above.

When temps approach freezing, after several kilometeres the blood flow in my fingers is so restricted that I can feel only pain. In 20 kms I had to stop several times to let the blood go back to fingers and I have experienced severe pain, bordering frostbites...

With heated handgrips, regardless of the temperature, I experience no ill effects, and my gf for example has warm palms after riding a scooter in the winter (but she does not have issues with blood flow like I do).

So, I'd recommend them as they greatly increase the riding comfort in the winter.

i have actually seen these wrap arounds used on the rear grab handles in the pastfor the pillion to use pretty versatile if you ask me. lol

How warm do they get? If you can feel the warmth through gloves they must be pretty darn warm! And do you have any idea how much current they draw? Night riding on a zx is putting the stator to it's  limit with the lights. I used to ride up in Connecticut year round, and I know what you mean by bordering frostbite. Actually I have never seen them before.

There are different handgrips. I use the ones from www.louis.de (look for "Heizgriffe").
They usually have 2 or 3 settings (hi/low or hi/mid low) and use 30-40-60W. (3-5 A)
Oxford is subjectively the warmest, as the wires are closer to the hand and not "embedded" in the rubber of the grips.
It is hard to explain how warm it is but they are EXTREMELY hot to touch which is quite nice when it is cold.

I do not know about ZX, but Agility 125 has no ill effects with additional 3.5 A. (neither did Beverly or People).

That's comforting to know, as I know the electrical system on the P250 is beefier than that of the A125. I haven't gone to heated grips yet, but I may.
