I think I may have added to the confusion Hot Grips (two words) is a company and the Oxford Company calls their product Hotgrips (One word)
Hot Grips are a US made brand and at least on the Models I used the Hot Grips Model 475-875 increase grip diameter (think Harley sized grips on a Busa) As a Rule Hot grips come with a 2 position Heat Controller or for an additional $50 a dial type heat Controller. (see them at Hotgrips.com)
Oxfords are Imported and come with a 4 button controller. I am using their model OF696 Sports HotGrips I have looked they no longer seem to offer the under grip product (Or I am confused about the maker of what was on the Victory) In any case you can see the Oxford line at their sight

In any case I have had very good luck with the Hot Grip Product (4 years no blown fuses no taxing the charging system) My only whine is the 2 position controller so I wind up running them and playing with the switch when it is too hot or cold.
I have had the Oxfords for just under a year the large button switch with 4 heat positions is great it's down side is that it is a bit harder to hide if that matters. On the B King have it mounted to my RAM mount but some might might not like the look of it.
