[QUOTE="BrettB, post: 578785, member: 14737"] I don't think the answer is a hard "you can't", but the "you can" answer will certainly require work. The factory grips do have the heating elements built into the rubber (which should be a good design for decreasing heat transfer into the bars instead of your hands). But, what you can do is buy some aftermarket heating elements along with new grip rubber, then splice the wires from the new elements onto the ends of the wires to the stock grips (as in, you would have to cut and strip the factory wires), to retain use of your stock controller. There has been some discussion about that before in the forums, so try some more searching... (too lazy to go find the thread and link it) [/QUOTE]
