    Ordered a set of the Yamaha running lights and when I finally got around to opening them, just a standard PIAA wiring harness, NOT the proprietary Yamaha harness. Hmmmmm.... Ironically, there is a big sticker over the wiring instructions that advise "For Wiring See Inserted Powersports...

    Yamaha Heated Grips???

    Any of you European guys have feedback on the Yamaha heated grips? Price right now seems a bit steep. How well do they work? Are they worth the $$ ? Starting to think I'm just going to get a set of hot grips which can be had for less than $50.
