As some of you know that there is no internally wired kit available for the CVOs that didn't come with heated grips like my 17'. So not wanting the generic grip kit with the wire hanging outside the bar on clutch side, note: It is possible to re-route the wire back in the bar but you will still have some wire hanging outside on the grip.
So my solution was to order the stock grips off of the Limited (air flow) and I assumed the the bike was probably pre-wired. I was half right, the throttle assembly does have the cable for the heated grips already run but that's it. Once I pulled the new left side wires and connected one of the 2 new ends I couldn't find a spot to connect the grips to a power source. So again after some research I ended up buying one of the kits anyway because I figured the right cable should be in it by looking at the part list for the kit and not wanting to order wrong cables and save trips to the now father away dealer, then I could just replace the cables that I used & resell the kit. I ended up using a long and short cable from the kit and plugged them together and then a (Y) cable I had left over from a speaker kit to get to a power source under the seat (Probably should put a fuse holder in line but I did all this without cutting any wires)
This is the part list:
56100097A Grip, LH, Heated $270
56100096 Grip, Throttle, heated $107
69201713 Wire-long $5
69201703 Wire-short $5
69200921 Y-harness power $9 (There are a couple of different ways to connect to a power source once you get under the seat)
Not cheap but I'm happy. FYI the generic airflow kit is $270
Hopes this helps anyone interested in doing the same thing.
