I'm putting on a set of Kimpex grip heaters. With some luck, I'll finish up
the installation today. So far, it's gone pretty well. I tried using a
couple of tips I found on this list, and others. I used 2 wraps of heat
shrink tubing on the left side to insulate the warmer from the metal of the
bar. I also installed the grip heaters with the wires towards the outside of
the bike, then ran the left side through the channel in the bar. The right
side I ran back under the grip. I did this to get some stress relief so the
wires wouldn't pull off. I also used a relay so the heaters would only work
with the ignition on, used an illuminated rocker switch. Instead of cutting
off the stock heated grip connector, I used T-Taps to tap into the lines.
