Is it the heated grips connector? Just behind radiator, left hand side?

Well, I was assuming there was a desirable and extravagant prize.

I think it's the NSA tracking connector.

It is on the left side, could be the heated grips connector, strange how the dealer the po bought it from wired the heated grips to a wire at the back of the bike instead of this.

It is for certain the heated grip connector. The orange/green wire along with the connector shape are unmistakeable.

I will pm you my address for the prize.
On second thoughts, if it really is desirable and extravagant, DO NOT POST IT!! Just send me a PayPal gift to the same amount.

The heated grip connector runs off the signals fuse along with the turn signals and brake light.

Thanks GW
There does seem to be a few take off points around the bike, was never sure where they were supplied from but I haven't seen/noticed the grips take off near the front cyl

That's the connector the Suzuki heated grips are designed to use. That doesn't necessarily mean that connector needs to be used for heated grips. I have HotGrips wired to a fuse block.

Piggy backing this thread. I found a black connector front left on the inside of the faring, not far from the indy.

Are you sure that's not the temperature sensor?

Left side would be the ambient air temp sensor. It only looks like a connector until you look at the front and see there are no connections.

So if this is the heated grips connector, it would be nice to be able to get the other half of it so ones own grips or another accessory could just be plugged in. Anyone know what it is called or where to get it?

The cable you need is called the horn lead wire.

Item 12 on the list. I am not sure whether its the same for the Glee. Maybe Greywolf can confirm??
