    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 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?

    Subtle, real subtle. Don't resort to outright beggin, its unmanly.

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

    Happy.
