Heated grip install directions????
The HD grip install directions are seriously the most lame and pathetic excuse for publishing on the face of the planet 
Has anyone installed these??????????????

Have the dealer do it. They will carry the bike's warranty. I have them on my RG and love them. The Harley units are nice now. The older ones used to crap out early.
I have had them on the last three bikes, no issues.

The only thing Im not following is how the throttle side gets power? From the small TGS connection? Is there a small hole in the bottom of the bars somewhere for the wires to be fed through? Assuming the newer bikes (2010+) still use this cig lighter power method, no easy connections have been left by HD to simply plug into?

THIS is what the damn instructions should look like.

The actual wiring is pretty straightforward. Fish the left grip wire thru the bars out the slot and connect to the right side pigtail. The instructions should show removing the rubber cap on the throttle sensor and connecting up that handgrip. I ran the power wires under the tank and back to the battery to an optional accessory harness that I bought.
Thje wiring is the easy part..everything else took the time. The new heated grips work really well. Good luck, AL

to my knowledge 10 and up bikes include the wiring harness in the fairing for the heated grips. You are basically feeding power to the left handlebar where the controller is. From the left, you are then feeding power to the right handlebar hence the small connector
Yes the bars have a hole in the center atop of the triple tree
