[QUOTE="torch, post: 1447053, member: 1295"] BTW: in the unlikely event that someone else ever wants to add heated grips to a Canadian 06, the pre-installed wiring is pretty limited. The wires to the heaters terminate in a pair of loose connectors inside the left fairing under the C panel, not in the switch housings. They are wired in series anyway, which limits power to 6v each -- not really going to get sufficient heat out of them. I found one of the supposed two connectors to the controller nearby, under the glovebox -- the one with the green wire from the headlight fuse. but not the second connector with the ground. Doesn't matter -- the ground spiders don't really need any additional loads so I ran a separate ground to the battery for the stuff I'm adding. I'm not a big fan of drawing an extra 3 amps from the headlamp circuit, so I ended up using that green wire just to actuate a relay and ran my own 12v feed from the battery too. I needed power for heated clothing anyway. It's not a perfect fit, doesn't latch, but a GM sensor connector fits into the Yamaha HG connector, providing the tap to power up the relay with the headlight. A zip tie will suffice as a latch. The square blank plate (which I believe is replaced by the Yamaha HG controller) makes a nice mounting place for two 5 amp PWM 12v motor controllers, which work perfectly for heated grips too. I'll throw up some pics later if there is interest. Anyway, thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
