Install Heated Grips on Your Motorcycle (or ATV)

Step 5Find some power for the wiring harness

Find some power for the wiring harness
Now you need to find some power for your new heated grips. You could wire directly off the battery but that's a bad idea if you accidentally leave the warmer on you'll kill your battery in a flash.
What you want is to connect it to switch power that only comes on when the bike is running. This is typically called accessory power.

In my case (DL-1000) there is an extra switched power lead behind the radiator. I couldn't actually fit my hands in there so I tapped the power close to the battery.
