[QUOTE="BrettB, post: 532526, member: 14737"] The factory heated grips come with a new throttle tube, but I can't tell a difference between it and the old one. Useless Pickles and Ionbeam give the reasons why they are the same, I just wanted to confirm the "no worries" from the perspective of having done the replacement. So, this shouldn't be a deal killer. I can also confirm that throttle tension, and roll-on behavior is exactly the same from the original setup to the factory heated grips. I didn't mention this earlier, but another small consideration in my going this route was the fact that the factory heated grips also included a replacement cast housing with an extra outlet and extra space for the heated grip wiring, including the space for the wiring to kind of coil/expand as you twist the throttle. A good tie-wrap job would be almost as good, but in this install, there is no movement of exposed wiring, it all contained within the housing and looks really really clean. -Brett [/QUOTE]
