Use a relay and you have your pick of connections; headlights, fuel pump, running lights, etc. I'm sure you can find a headlight wire.

Re: Heated grips

Just wire it to your low beam wire - right behind your headlights. Either wire is fine. I did that on my RC and now on my Blade also. Even with high beams, and the grips on MAX, the stock fuse can handle the current.

I,m going to be so grateful because I,ve just had to put my battery back on charge. Doh, left the damned things on after I got home from work less than two hours ago, back to the garage right now. Thanks
