I put the Kympex kit on my previous '99 under some typical replacement "gel 
grips" but don't see why you couldn't use the stockers.  But if I had to do it 
again the kit from http://www.dual-star.com looks a bit better, and if I recall 
don't use a big resistor for the "low" circuit like Kympex does...

Proper switch (ala OEM) is made by CarlingSwitch, I got a couple from 
http://www.electricalconnection.com/power-distribution/switch_high-amp.htm

Looks like EC also has a heated grip kit but I can't tell who's pads those are, 
and that's a nice switch alternative they are showing.
