If you've still got the Euro EC electrical switches on the bike do like I've done on my bike. Since I don't use the turn signals I've removed the turn signal relay and connected the two relay wires together (the third wire is just a ground wire). This gives you the possibility of connecting the grip heaters to the front turn signal outlets and switch them on and off with the turn signal switch.
I use 20W heaters with a simple Hi/Lo function by running a second circuit through the heaters and a diod. Since the GG bikes run AC the diod only gives you 10W worth of heat when connected. I use the turn signal switch to select between Hi and Lo.
The "large" EC ignition is really only capable of producing 70-75W so saving power for lights is important. The "over the counter" Hi/Lo grip heaters that just use a resistor to produce the Hi/Lo function still uses 20W even at the Lo setting.
