a year later... and thanks for the diy...
it was nice to see a few of the things illustrated. I did mine with epoxy though, that simplified everything a lot. I figured I'll never actually take them off, I'd just buy a new set for a new bike if the time came.
btw, what did you use for ground for the grips? I haven't gotten to taking the side fairings off yet.
And I'm also looking at using one of these switches... with the extra "kill" button, I'll scrape the "kill" off and wire it up to a garage door opener.
