S'all good, hooked up with @GreenPlane in the area and he helped me out!

Haha ya @ScorpionT16 , I should've checked what I was dealing with ? s'ok I'll figure it out. Got time til winter ?❄️

Saw the wires 16 or 18 gauge $10 a roll (red and black), butt connector $5 a pack, terminal ring $5 a pack, crimp pliers $25. I'm checking amazon grips supplier to see if the wires are naturally long enough to reach battery. $35 prime Play by ear for now, doubt I'll need the tool and...

Just stopped by princess auto before heading to work, they sell wires at minimum 25ft prepack lol I need like 3 maybe 4 feet max. Saw those butt connectors too. These tools and material will legit be a one time use for me so the cost is gonna add up to an Oxford ?might be easier getting a set...

@ScorpionT16 hurry up from your trip and you can dissect my bike and teach me haha! @Roadghost thanks for the comforting words! I'm willing to try 100%, I've tested the grips from scorpion above, and they definitely heat up nicely. I have seen cb500x install vids and I need to file down the...

Thanks for those input, screw heated grips then ? survived many winters without them

I have none of these tools so I'll only be grabbing some wires, connectors, and the pliers. ?️

Will gather the materials from princess and give it a shot ? thanks all!

@Mad Mike so basically get proper ones like oem or other popular brands out there to avoid headaches as I'm an idiot to getting this job done right ?

The switch is attached to the left grip, then to the black box, which is only long enough to reach the gas tank. Tank to battery I'll need to add about 2-3 ft ish

Got a set of heated grips from a member, unfortunately the wires are too short and doesn't reach my battery. Went to home depot to look for wires of the same thickness but no luck.. Where else should I look, and what exactly am I looking for? It's got 14 copper wires inside if that helps lol...

@ScorpionT16 they fit for the cb500x?! I'm would love them! ?

Grats on the bike! 300s are fun! I miss my ninja. But eventually got a cb500x for the comfort. (versys 300 was more expensive when I was looking)

@KenC held up in big storms? My helly hensan was lacking a storm flap so eventually rain gets through the main zipper, but everything else is solid. Would be interested to get a new jacket, or the HH I have now but with a flap.

I'm currently looking into a Joe rocket phoenix 13 and Olympia airglide 5 as it has the in or out rain liner. Hoping to keep the price lower.. Anyone have tried these?

Hey @ScorpionT16 , basically what you have. High setting with reflector plus this additional adjuster, hard to see from taking a pic.

Hey all, after adjusting my screen to the high position, I've also added an extender on the base which gave it an additional 2", plus the screen extender which is another 2-3". With covid around I haven't had much highway trips, so it just occurred to me now that it seems a bit buzzy and I feel...

Living at a condo with limited storage for tools and space to work on the bike.. So I can only do the bare minimal, which Has to be oil change.. ? Had to go the mechanic route with tires, chain, valve, etc when the time came.

I asked an officer one time if I've been sitting there for a long time, can I proceed when Safe to do so.. This was on a smaller street too! She said no, and if she saw me she'd pull me over. But when I asked about going to push the pedestrian button, which isn't any safer, she didn't comment...

One. I was on left lane, right tire track as taught. Right lane had a bus that just stopped and the car behind it decides to pull out without looking. I was going speed limit, knew it was coming, had to swerve around the driver. Since then I am left tire track on left lane to give myself room..
