Well, I was finally able to pick up my bike after the dealership had installed the heated grips and drilled the air box. I was able to try them both yesterday when I was able to ride to work and I am very pleased with both. The grips are Oxford Heaters and they are fantastic. No more cold fingers for me. I drilled the air box at someones suggestion because ever since I installed the Leo Vince exhaust, I was getting some backfiring on deceleration. Well the drilled air box seems to have fixed that problem. Plus with the unexpected bonus of changing the engine sound to a nice low melodic growl. It sounds great and it even feels a bit more responsive. Thanks for the tips. Have fun.
