Anyone installed Oxford heated grips and wired to turn off with ignition switch.
Are they good and are they easy to install?
Any help / opinions appreciated.

I still want to install the OEM heated grips, but am also thinking about these I saw in the Aerostich catalog...
Aerostich Warm Wrap Grips ~ $45 bucks
You just wrap 'em around your grips when you want 'em... then plug into a power source... DONE! Take 'em off when you don't need 'em! A pretty affordable solution for those who don't want to go through a whole install process.

I think the three wire harness is for accessory lights. The handgrips connect under the gas tank. You can install them without removing the tank, but it is much easier with the tank removed.

that would make sense. 
no doubt all will become less clear after ive dl the triumph instructions 
got to find a suitable location near the front for my usb charger
so might use the headlight to tap a live and neutral from there
