[QUOTE="dbx, post: 955524, member: 1677"] If you do it like I did, the same two wires (from the bike's wiring harness) that supply power to the right side will be used to supply power to the left side. The two sides will be connected in parallel. That's important because connecting the two sides in series will result in a total resistance that's too high to generate full heat. Regarding the shorted left heating element, I think you can probably work around it by slipping a 4" section of heat shrink tubing over the bar and shrinking it down, then applying the heating element over the shrink tubing. Finally, slip the grip over the heating element once you've got everything working. [/QUOTE]
