    I must be overlooking something obvious. Surely. Where the heck is the switch for the heated grips? Normally it is inboard of the turn signal or front brake reservoir. I cannot find it.

    The grips heat up very well, but I don't need the extra warmth very often.

    If it's anything like the sprint it will be on the inner fairing panel. Looks like it's in the top right corner of your first picture to me.

    I appreciate the help. I'll look at the fairing when I get home.

    The items I marked on this new photo were installed by the prior owner. A is a clip like you'd attach a cue sheet to. B is the switch for the aux headlights (which don't work).

    That looks almost exactly like what I thought was just a cue sheet clip. I haven't actually pushed it, so I wonder if that is exactly what it is. This is a 2012 bike, long after people had mapping apps on phones, so paper cue sheets would be unnecessary. I'm guessing that is in fact a button for the grips.

    The switch on the inner fairing is for the grips - usually rocked forward is high, rocked back is low and mid (flat) position is off
