Heated Grips - Does This Look Right?

@CotswoldBiker Yes think I would be asking them to readjust the throttle side so that the wiring is to the bottom of the throttle.

 

I'd be fine with that. Look at under bar route and the cable has to turn 180° which creates a stress point. Plus at bigger throttle openings your thumb will wind up whacking the lead...

 

Just saying. All the heated grips i have had on and some by Bulldog have been to the bottom. And things like levers and all that slightly adjusted to suit. I would not like that either. Just seems wrong.

 

If you zoom in to my bars you'll see how Kawasaki did it....

 

Doesn't look right to me.

 

Yes, ask them to re-route it under the bars for consistency and cleaner looks. The throttle-side cable moving with the grip is normal, but if it bothers you and the clutch side is tucked, they should match it. A tidy install matters especially if you paid for the job. No harm in requesting a proper fix.

 

The problem is, I'm not sure anyone can categorically say this is wrong.

Did you specify when you asked them to do the job?

If you didn't specify, and they have completed the job in a safe manner, then should they be expected to work on it again for free?

Awkward one and not something I personally would experience, as I would be fitting them myself for exactly these sorts of issues.

 

Are these OEM Triumph grips or aftermarket? Reason I ask is the grips on my Scrambler have the wires routed inside the bars.
