Default Handlebar internal wiring and heated grips installed w/pics

Fall is here, time to think, hands are frozen riding to work these mornings, I was thinking to do that for so many years but never happened. After I tried my friend's heated grips, love it! I didn't go for the HD one coz their electrical sucks, I bought the Head demons and they are nice. I spent close to 3 hours to run my controls wires and heated grip wires internally, no matter how hard it is, after you see the clean handlebar look, it is worth the time. Some pictures to share, I also relocate my turns.

What did you use to relocate your turn signals? I want to get mine off the bars too.

Riding home this evening on the hwy as usual, 45f out there, the grip warmer does work, I have a pair of shitty gloves, hold the grips tight and hands are warm, I feel like riding more in cold weather now. Thumb up!

Thanks for the detailed photos. I used them to do the internal wiring of my handlebars. I even got me the Heat Demons, they work great. One question what did you do with all the wires on the left side? Did you just fold them and placed them inside the heater when you pushed the heater inside the handlebar?

Is there enough room for the wires for the heat demons along with cruise control?

It depends if both Heat Demons and cruise control should be on one side, this maybe a problem with the amount of wires. I would recommend to place one one right and one on the right side.
