Can't do it. The elements are in the grips. You would need to buy the A version throttle tube and the throttle housing. Don't do it.
Does the factory installed heated grips for the AE work exactly the same way as the after market heated grips that the A crowd buys from Yamaha? Thanks for the feedback and I was hoping someone with an AE would confirm this as well. Richard told me about the issues you had after I bought the grips. I really wanted to try something different.
They are not like the aftermarket grips. The grips I have are the AE grips from Yamaha. Does that make me part of the A crowd?
The grip puppies are way to big and my hands get sore after a long ride. Not sure how many long rides you put in this year but I plan on putting on many miles this year and I want to have the bike set up the way I like it. If you start putting on some more miles you might see what I mean.
I am just giving you a hard time man. The grip puppies are great for comfort up to about 10 hours and anything over that in a day and my hand starts to cramp and makes the last couple of hours on the road pretty painful. I might take you up on your offer or I might just remove the grip puppies all together and go back to the stock grips. I have really been thinking about doing an iron butt ride this year and I want everything to be just right. These BMW grips feel awesome and I was just hoping there was a way to get them fitted on the bike.
Tha would be awesome if I could find a way to use the BMW grips with the new simtec heaters wired to the AE grip heater controller. I would pull the trigger in a second.
Richard you actually just brought up my biggest concern. In the back of my mind I wonder if this is an issue about a riser plate or grips and I am starting to think after talking to Johnny that is could be the riser plate that would help me with fatigue and cramping after many hours. The problem does not start until about hour 10 and beyond.
