    Three pin is for grips, switched. Two pin is for GPS, unswitched, and you can buy the connector from Triumph.

    Looks like I will have to go back to the switched part of the fusebox.

    Use the switched plug to power a relay with a feed directly off the battery. Then you won't have to worry about drawing too much juice from that robust British wiring.

    The Oxford grips don't come with a relay. They included a pigtail to go directly to the battery. Looks like I'll have to bring the cable back to the Denali PowerHub, where it can be switched so it won't run without the key on.

    Just buy Eastern Beaver's kit, which plugs directly into the stock connector and provides you with switched hot and ground wires for the grips.

    Wow, I guess the Ducati ones are a bargain afterall. I bought them. Haven't installed yet, but they are simply plug and play. Actually, have to have the dealer activate them in the dash when I bring it for my first service. You can thank me for the warm weather.
