    just installed gen mar risers, heated grips.
    installation ridiculously easy. found live 10a fuse in wiring harness for "clock" which my ride doesn't have. it's not a switched wire so must remember to turn off grip heaters post ride.
    bar risers and oversized grips are much more comfortable- no more tingling fingers after 20minutes.
    MRA vario windscreen arrived yesterday so get installed this morning.
    Twisted Throttle was great site. even if it took 6 weeks to get the MRA screen direct from Germany.

    Yeh I used that fuse for a radar detector before I just ended up going directly to the battery. I have a speedo with the clock in my tool box that I got off Ebay. You have a shock for that thang?

    Been thinking of doing heated grips. What brand did you go with? Thanks

    the Trackside grips, bought at Cyclegear.com for $60. no complaints so far.

    The biggest improvement in comfort can be achieved by replacing the stock 8 spoke wheel with a newer 6th Gen wheel. Lucky for you I am willing to do an even swap for the wheel off my Anniversary Edition LOL!! How about a pic or two of your 3rd Gen?

    Nope, moved hands to comfortable and using the MRA windshield. New seat helped too.

    Happy.
