NOPE, Wrong, not talking a glue on grip. These new left hand side grips seat in "one" position only. Look up grips on the HD site for the OP's 2011 then click on installation instructions, then read about the left grip install.
Left side first unless you don't care to match them in the event the grip purchased has a rotating pattern.
Not sure what you're talking about on the right side having a 90 degree twist as the right side (TBW) grip can be installed at any 360 degrees.

And in any case, if the new ones don't glue on (and therefore aren't "semi-permanent), then it really doesn't matter too much which one goes on first, as they can be adjusted afterward.

No, that's not correct. It wouldn`t matter I suppose if you replaced them with non-OEM glue-on grips but I bought the Get-a-Grips and they are non-glue. I don't know if other HD grips are like that or not. On the G-A-Gs, the left one has a raised shoulder/cam on half its circumference that fits under the control housing and keeps it from rotating on the bar. It will fit in one position only - there is NO adjustment. That's why it doesn't have to be glued - it's locked by the housing and can't slip off or rotate. Subsequently, if you want to match the two, the right one has to be done afterwards because it's the only one that has any adjustment in rotation.

No, I did do as you mentioned. My point is that you can adjust it (the throttle grip) after the fact. Something you can't do with a glue-on left grip. I don't see what the big deal is.
And on top of all this --- The guy never mentioned if he's using a non-glued HD grip or one of so many glue-on left grips that so many of us use. In which case, he'd undoubtedly want to install the right grip first.
So can we let it go already...?

No, you do not need to replace the heated grips with heated grips. My hands seldom get cold so I decided to forego buying heated grips. I simply bought Kury ISO grips (unheated). I put heat shrink over the ends of the heater wires inside the handlebars, then to be double sure I wrapped the wires with electric tape. The Kurys went on without a problem. I now have 1600 miles on these without a complaint.

Jesse Cripes...OKAY --- Can we just leave it at *IF* he's installing one of several HD non-glue grips he should install the left one first and *IF* he's installing one of several NON-HD glued grips he should install the right one first?
Will that stop this?
