There is a drawing on my site if you have IE5 or greater. It is a power point drawing a customer made up that shows how to wire up heated hand grips with a relay. I use one from hella that is water proof. You might be able to run louder horns also through the same relay.

Check your wiring diagram, it's the main wire going to the fuses. I've just installed a relay so I can power other accessories too, without worrying about disrupting something with the current drop. I mounted the relay directly behind the battery under the ABS computer, fit's just right. I also went to a marine supply store and bought a lighted switch for the grips, makes them easier to use at night. I also recommend using an in-line fuse, just in case. Here's at least one source for Kimpex grip heaters that's cheaper than RiderWearhouse: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/azmotorsports/kimgripheatk.html -Derek [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Maggiacomo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 11:48 PM Subject: Re: Bar Ends / grip warmers > I own a pair not yet installed.
