Default Handle Bars

I own a 2017 Road Glide Ultra and plan to change the stock bars to 10 inch KST Kustom Spearhead. I have two questions 1) I intend to add heated grips so does the wiring harness already have a connection for this? 2) Has anyone here switched stock bars to the Spearhead?

Thanks for your comments.

I had 12" KST bars. The bend is tricky, but possible to wire internally. I would recommend a tight wire loom sheath to cover the wires. That's what I used and it was the only way.

The wiring is set up for the heated grips is in the fairing already. Thats the easiest part about the bar swap.

Thank you for the response - I will need to look up which connection is for the heated grips.

If I still had my bike, I'd show you. One is already connected on the throttle side grip. It's the empty connector. The clutch side is attached to the grip and runs down and connects to the throttle side under the fairing. That last connection, I can't recall exactly where it is or I'd walk you through the process.
