I manage without on the S1000 (2010) but on my Tiger 1050 I have the Triumph ones, not as good as they should be. Honda heated grips were far superior..
Sorry I dont know about Roxter ones.

I have the latest inteligent Oxford heated grips on my Triumph 1050 GT and they are better than the BMW ones on my 2012 S1000RR you can get them cheap if you shop around payed £49 for the last set i purchased from mega motorcycle superstore in swindon

plumbed for the oxford commuter heated grips in the end as that's what I've got on me T595 and they're Ok with the two settings will fit em next week
