I have these grips installed. I used a fuse tap like others suggested, but I also just used the inline fuse they provided as well. So I assume that's okay? So the positive wire from the grips goes from the controller, through the provided inline fuse, and then into the fuse for the 'tail'.
The negative is another story. Unless you want to run the negative cable all the way back to the battery(Which I guess is correct procedure) I just bolted the terminal to the frame right there by the fuse box with a nut and bolt.
These grips definitely do not need to be glued on. At least not with a G2 Throttle Tamer. It takes quite a bit of brute force to get it on the throttle tube, and the handlebar on the clutch side. Hairspray or soapy water help.
Make sure to take note that they have made each grip specifically for each side of the bike! I almost sent them back because I didn't realize there was a difference between the two and was trying to put the throttle side grip over the bare bar. The throttle side is wayy too big to go over the bar, each side is made to fit. These are not squishy rubber grips, they're rigid grips, no expanding to fit like a normal grip.
Where is exactly is the fuse for the tail?
