Change Heated Grips for Reg Grips on FLHTK
Anyone changed their factory heated grips for regular style grips? If so how did you handle the wiring, just cut it at the grips or remove the wiring, can this wiring be used for the Heat Demons? I am thinking about it and use the Heat Demons heated grips this winter. Any info will be appreciated.

I changed mine out and did away with my heated grips all together and put on some chrome and rubber non heated ones.
then when I went to yellowstone after sturgis last year and got up one morning and it was like 30 degrees at the North entrance to the park. I'm asking myself what kind a dumb a$$ am I? I plan on gettting heated ones back on ASAP.

I did it. I put Kury ISO Grips on it. To remove the heated grips, I just cut the wires and used some wire caps and then used heat shrink to keep the wires from shorting out. The factory service manual said that I needed to pull the inner fairing off to do the job. Maybe I will someday but cutting the wires seemed much quicker. No complaints so far with the Kury Grips except I thought that the fit was sloppy when I first put them on. Now that I'm used to them I like them a lot.

My HD heated grips failed, so I pulled them off and installed Avon grips without heat. I left the internal wires in the bars, but removed all other wires so there is no connection to the battery. I use heated gloves instead. They heat from both sides and between fingers. I think the gloves are much more effective overall, and if they need to be replaced I don't have to mess with the wiring again.
