Anyone extend the cables for the OEM heated grips?

(Tried searching and didn't find anything :/ )


I bought one of the RRR Tools Adjustable Handlebar thingies and I knew that I may have issues due to the brake/clutch lines. What I wasn't expecting was the OEM heated grip's cables being really short. They are so short that I can't even mount the bar in the lowest, most forward position on the handlebar riser.


I haven't lifted the tank up to see how the cables are routed as I haven't had the time to check but is anyone aware of a way to extend the heated grip lines or if I'm just being stupid and they're actually long but wrapped into a bundle under the tank?

They don't gu under the tank, they route over to the right side panel and there's plenty of slack

I have a cheap set of risers on my bars and my OEM heated grip wires are taught when turned all the way left. IF I had went with a taler riser, and I want to, I will be in you predicament so I will be watching to see what others suggest. BTW, I installed my grips so I know where the wires run and have given every bit of slack possible.

Took apart the bike today to do several longstanding things (refill coolant, remove dash plate, and figure out why my PIAA lights no longer work) and in the process, blew 3 20 amp fuses. That's what I get for blindly connecting wires together without a multimeter. Yes, I'm an idiot.


ANYWAYYYYY, I also checked out the heated grip lines and there's definitely no slack.

Now, the connectors used for the cable to whatever the main harness is looks pretty standard so if anyone knows where to find a connector like this, I could totally just make an extension cable myself and can be good to go from there.
