I bought my ST with the heated grips already installed so I can't compare
them to the normal grips, but they don't seem any larger than other bikes
I've owned.

The right does get warmer due to the thinner rubber on that side. Since the
right grip has to be thinner to accomodate the throttle, they are going to
be hotter unless some compensation was made in the resistor pad itself.
