Heated grips

[Lollydude]

Will the factory heated grips and controller from a 04 fit a 06, plug and play style.

I would look up the part numbers for both. Iy they differ then they probably won't bolt in. That is not say you could not modify them to work.

Answer: NO

You can fit the old ones on the newer bikes, but it won't be integrated - the controller won't even go into the nice knockout on the panel . . .

There's a reason the new ones cost 3 times what the ones for the first gens do - they are 'speed sensitive' and, as you correctly pointed out, plug-and-play.

Someone here was wanting to replace his factory OEM grips on his AE for something different - I suggested he sell his to someone else if he really wanted to replace his . . . .

Another no. When I got my 2006 FJR in 2006, I ordered the factory heated grips. They came much sooner than the bike. I took them out of the box to install them once teh bike was delivered and noticed a problem soon after. They are not the same and the connectors aren't the same. Big difference. Took nearly a year to get the correct part.

They were ungodly expensive, some might say criminal, but I sure like how they work! My only complaint is that I have worn the factory grip material smooth. Not sure yet what I am going to do about that.

Hockey stick tape... (classier than duct tape, in keeping with the quality of our fine steeds)

See my post in this thread. You have choices. You can also use tennis grip tape. I'd personally go for the NOJ overgrips (set on order)..
