Any tips on how to remove the left heated handgrip? I am installing an cb/intercom controller.

Two small screws just underneath the higher lip of the grip by the controls. Pull it back a little and you'll see it. Black phillips head.

I highly recommend you read Lone Ranger's additional instructions before you tackle this. I just went thru this last week and the instructions are HORRIBLE.

My additions:

It appears that step 29.5 is missing - Remove seat filler panel so you can see the dimple.

#34 under module installation - I installed the CB module and bottom bolt when I had the trunk skin removed to install the antenna. It is IMPOSSIBLE to install this any other way.

I did find the screws and removed them. Thanks for the tip.

After everything was installed, I can hear people on the CB, but I cant talk to them. When I push the PTT button, the console says TX. but no signal goes out. I tried communicating to another vision 20 feet from me, and a handheld, neither could hear me. We compared wiring on the vision since his CB works, and found a single wire from the audio harness CB connector that was not connected on my bike. Maybe this is the reason?

After installing my CB/ICOM unit, I found that I can only receive, not transmit. When I push the PTT button, console said TX.

Found that the drivers cable had a "pinched" wire, apparently for the microphone. I was able to twist the cable slightly and everything works fine now. I am kind of concerned about a loose connection, but I will monitor the results after riding the bike for a while. I think vibration may create a bad connection again.
