    I just came back from 2,400 miles (!) in a week on my VFR. Loved the trip, but somewhere outside Abilene, Texas, I would have killed for heated grips.
    I'm in Albuquerque, where there is snow and it gets cold, especially on my favorite mountain roads at 9,000 feet.

    My question: What is under the right grip? I know it's throttle by wire. Does it have a tube like other bikes? Do I need to buy VFR1200 specific grips? Any surprises lurking there? I'm not sure if I can add heated grips that go OVER the bar like a regular grip, or if I must get the heated grips that ATTACH TO the bar (the kind with the sticky back that are really thin.).

    Anyone done this?
    Thanks.
    Dan
