ACC and B+ CONNECTORS
#11
Thanks for the positive feedback. That's always nice to hear. As far as my upcoming TV show is concerned...I only have this to say, I prefer to call them MOOBS! (.)(.)

I understand the acc plug and have used it with the expansion connector.
I recently had heated grips installed. I was told that they used the B+ connector. I don't need to use the acc switch but the grips turn off with the ignition. What's different about this situation compared to the one you describe?

I bought the aileron heated grips for my 09 and decided to install them myself because the stealer wanted $400 (aussie $) to fit them. 7 hours later I was done. Long story.
anyhoo, the genuine heated grips have 2 feeds - one from the B+ and one from the P&A fuse in the fuse box, which is a spare space that you install a new fuse into. The P&A is fed from the ignition, not from the accessories, so the grips will ony work when the main switch is in the ign posn.
Grips are always on when the ign is on (unless you set them to heat position 0) and as they are thermostatic they dont do anything unless it gets cold.
Why the 2 feeds? Beats me.

Not sure about that one....I just did the same thing, one ACC switch powered with ignition on, one powered with just ignition switch and two naturals/ground.....
I'm using one side for my garage door opener and the other side to power my satellite radio.
Yes, buy four female pin connectors and the male connector and your set....

I re-read the installation instructions for the grips. There is a link to the B+ circuit for power but it has a switching circuit that goes to the fuse box. This assures that it only runs when the bike runs.
Also, the explanation for the "thermostatically controlled" feature states that it's designed to maintain constant temp at the grips regardless of ambient temp. So, juice to grip would increase in colder weather so there would be no need to adjust the dial to match the colder weather.

In reality it doesnt work like that tho, as the colder the day is the hotter you want the grips to be so that the heat soaks thru your gloves.
They are still great grips tho, neatest installation abd toasty warm.
Why didnt HD didnt just wire the bars for heated grips at the factory? it would have added about 2 mins to the assembly time and saved hours. the E throttle sender already has wiring for grips, they stop about 4 inches from the sender. Those wires should have been extended to behind the nacelle at least.
