[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 469370, member: 277"] The heated tape kits are not real hard to install. This is an overview of the major steps: [LIST][*]remove the stock grips, this can be a pain in the ass -- LMK if you do this and I can offer some tips [*]power the Heat Troller through an ignition switched relay, you really want to do this [*]install the afore mentioned relay, choose something like a front signal light for the switched ignition source [*]drill and install the heat knob [*]tie down the heat controller someplace, and connect the power wires to the relay and chassis ground [*]attach the heat tape to the throttle tube (the tube will heat insulate the heater from the metal bar) [*]tape or heat shrink the clutch side bar and attach the tape (this heat insulates the metal bar and allows side to side heat balance) [*]run the tape heater wires to the Heat Troller, if you take some care the wires will not be visible to a casual glance [*]slip on new grips [*]test [*]reassemble [*]done [*]enjoy [/LIST] How much you have to remove and do depends on your ambition. You will probably have to remove at least Panels A to D. If you do not want to install a power distribution at this time you probably won’t have to raise the tank (at no point would you need to remove the tank). [/QUOTE]
