Yes, I installed Heat Demons, wired internally.
A bit of a struggle to fit with all the other wires in the bars, but it is doable.
Advice received suggested the factory grips wouldn't work with the internal wiring.
If you really wanted them, I'm certain it could be achieved.
The Heat Demons aren't as warm as factory grips, to much metal they need to heat before it heats the grip, but they are decent enough and unobtrusive, with a longer warranty. To be fair, my grips are metal with rubber over them making hard work for the Heat Demons.

Very cool, where did the speedo come from?
The face plate came from Speed Gauge Customs. I ordered the plate and self mounted it. Forewarning....it's a P.I.A. Tedious. But you can mail him your speedometer, and he'll do it for you. There are directions on Jarrod's site. I sent him a photograph of a WLA speedometer I wanted him to copy. It did not turn out like an absolute replica, but real close. Give him a design, and he can make it happen.
Looks good while sitting. However, on a side note, not as clean as stock when running with the back lights lit up. Not horrible, but not as clean as I'd like it to be. Either way, I'm keeping it the way it is. I like the look. I kept the stock face plate should I decide to swap it back out. Since had to take the chrome ring off to replace the face plate, that is when I had it powder coated satin black as well.
Also, if you order from Jarrod, he's a one man show that does face plates outside of his full time job. My order ended up taking almost a month to come in. I recommend doing something like this in the off season. Newby mistake on my part.
