675 Socket for heated grips on 2013 street triple

I fitted Oxford heated grips to my wife's 2012 Street Triple and in the end I wired direct to the battery. Bought a relay as was bothered about leaving them on, just have not got round to fitting it yet. With a relay the power still comes from the battery via the heated grips fuse but switched on an off by say the lighting circuit when the bike is tuned on.
Watch out for the screws in the bar ends, they had been locktited in and had a right game getting them out.

 

Yep a rough file is required on the throttle tube, but you wont see it when the grip is on. I super glued my grip to the tube. Just have to be quick getting the grip into the right place so the cable does not snag when the throttle is twisted.

 

Just a heads up for anybody who has Triumph heated grips, my other half has just taken delivery of a 2014 Street Triple R, adjusted the brakes for her, she needed them twisting down on the bars slightly for comfort. The wires from the heated grips run through a hole in the bars, it is very easy to pinch the wire when adjusting the lever clamps. How do I know.....ya guessed.
