eddieb and mike --
Aren't relays used for adding such things as the grips? Doesn't this suffice to aid to cooling patterns for "oveheated" wiring?
Last week, coming up on end of season - shorter days, I wanted to use my halogen fogs every evening, when I wanted - without having them hooked into low or high beams. Good dream I thought... I took apart my headlight, found the halogen wiring on the fogs that worked its way around without using a relay. This was wired by a HD mechanic... Also, the relay was burned out, some tips of wires not even within the relay... Plus, reading through the manuals - color coded wiring "should" indicate only certain wires for certain functions. I have "two" wires for same function. Oh, this could be another gripe of mine... however --
With the need for heated grips, or other HD "power", we need to realize that if we don't contact HD with some of these concerns, we'll all sound like we're just rattling each other.
Use the number for customer service at the Milwaukee Juneau Ave. plant -- Was given to me when I balked at "chrome issues" via a survey... got their attention quickly, and found a "name" behind the phone number.
