Here's what I want to do:

I want to install polly heaters and use the heated grip switch assembly from Buell.

Can I wire up the polly heaters to the buell switch? That way I don't have any toggle switches to fool with. Nice, clean straight from the factory look.

Not sure if i'll need anything else besides the heaters and the switch..... whatcha think?

I installed Polly Heaters on my XB12R. I have the switch located in a hidden place that is protected from the elements, even though it is a marine (rubber covered) switch.

I often use the 2 different heat settings, not sure if the Buell switch has Hi-Off-Lo settings.

The most difficult part was wiring up the relay. I kept the wiring and switch located under the seat.

I want to know the answer to this as well.

If the switch has three wires it's doable.
One wire to power, one to the low setting circuit and one to the high setting circuit.

I came as close to the Buell set up as I can but I would prefer the slide switch over my toggle.
