Here's a set of heated grips for one inch bars that come complete with new grips:
Heated Grips 1
Here's a less expensive approach that involves removing your present grips, attaching these self-adhering heaters to your bars, then replacing your grips.
Heated Grips 2
I installed a set similar to the Dual Star ones, but they required mounting a resistor that gets hot ...so you have to be careful where you mount it. The DualStar setup doesn't require a resistor.
I mounted my off on switch under the fuel tank, and wired into a switched plug under the fuel tank. That way, even if I forget to shut them off, when I turn the ignition off, the grips go off too. No dead battery that way.
The only problem I've experienced is that with the grips on "hi", the nylon under the throttle gets hot and wants to bind slightly ....sort of like a throttle meister! I plan to pull the right hand grip and ream out the nylon slightly to eliminate the problem.
Hope this helps.

I've got all the parts, just looking for the time.
