| Re: Heated grips 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. |
