RE: Replacement grip w/ Heated grips

[paul kalichman <pkalichman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just pick up 2 pairs of standard grips from any bike shop.  One grip will be
larger then the other. The large one is for the right hand side, the throttle.
The other is smaller, designed for the bare metal bar on the left side. You
want to use the 2 designed for the throttle, toss the 2 lefts.  They will fit
your heated grips just fine.  Of course you will not have BMW grips anymore,
so if this distresses you, I advise against it.

You must be careful removing the old grips as the heating wires can be easily
damaged.  If they are damaged, don't fret.  You can simply overlay snowmobile
heating elements on top of the old heating wires, and solder them to the
existing wiring.
