Got a set of these today. I was actually looking for Oxfords, but the OEM's where just $30 more - since when did Oxfords cost so much? $30 is worth coming with the correct connectors IMHO. All in all, a 15-20 minute job, quicker if you're used to pulling apart the front end. Installation is super easy (barely an inconvenience!) and there's even slots for the cable routing on the underside of the left switchgear. Very seamless look, and as they even come with a throttle tube, there's no hassle with prying the old grip off the old throttle tube or worries of glue not adhering well enough. As soon as they're plugged in, the Grip Warmer section of the TFT configuration is enabled and they can be controlled through there perfectly. They're better looking than the Oxfords, too, if I'm honest; much thinner wires, YAMAHA branded grips instead of OXFORD, etc.
They work great. That's about it. Frankly, given the cost of the Oxfords now, may as well have a dealer get you a set of the OEM heated grips (so you don't have to pay the outrageous $75 shipping fee); hell, they've probably got some in stock.

A local dealership that sells Yamaha's. They tend to keep the OEM accessories in stock so they can kit up new bikes, but any dealership can order them in to avoid shipping. Or you can just order them directly from Yamaha's website, but the shipping is silly.

I will try my local dealer. Last time I was on Yamaha’s website, I could not find them on there anywhere.
