Full service, oil, the works. I know it doesn't supposed to feel like a new bike, but it does.

I know all that other stuff. I'm asking about the plugs that come out of the the left hand grip.

EDIT:

Ok so apparently both plugs he used came from the left grip. The first is the Throttle Wire that plugs into the plug that he's pulling out of the Wireloom. Plugs into the prepared wire that comes from the Left Hand grip that already matches.
The 2nd wire from the left hand grip plugs into the Y Harness that you modify with a matching connector from the kit provided in the heated grips kit.

I'm not sure why they have the throttle power wire route through and back to the left handgrip, but it's very annoying that it's unlabeled on the diagrams.
This was a simple but relatively annoying thing to figure out.
Yes, the first one is the one he pulls out from behind the rubber .

And yes, the other plug goes into the one you soldered.

And I assume that because the right side is pre wired for the grip, the black and white is just completing the circuit. The other is red and black that comes from the "Y" appears to be the ignition on power source.

sounds great! Real deep, not too raspy. How it should have sound from the factory.

I cant install it yet, but I needed to share the beautiful thing I just unboxed that will be going on my bike here soon:
Galfer Wave Rotor 11.8inch with Galfer performance sintered pads to match.
330$ from FuelMoto USA.
I couldn't even order this off of Galfer's store front, FuelMoto had them, and ITS BEAUTIFUL. It's like a piece of jewelry, look at that glimmer.
God Damn I love FuelMoto's shop.

I have no idea why HD cheaped out on this, but back a bit in the thread a bit there were some examples of grills being stuck to the inside of the oil cooler cover to protect the radiator or to simply look better.

Here's mine

Car Mesh Grille, 100*30cm Universal Aluminium Alloy Car Racing Grill Net Vent Tuning Durable Honeycomb Grille Mesh for Bumper, Hood Vents, Fenders (3*6MM)

There are a few sellers on the big A selling the same stuff ...£16/$19 for a sheet

You can also see the paint protection film I put on the regulator fins to help stop the paint getting chipped (and the dirt)

16” apes, cruise, le pera bare bones, Vance and Hines big shots, s&s aircleaner and I’ve vented the breather to underneath the bike.
Paintwork next, I’m thinking of going for a Lowrider flake vibe.
