Hi,
I'm in the middle of converting my K100RS to an RT by replacing the fairing and some other components. The RT steering components came with factory barend weights. I'm reusing my old RS controls and grips, which where heated. The RS did not have barend weights so the grips are intact on the ends. Will I damage the heating coils in the grips if I cut into the ends to make an opening for the barends? I don't know if the heating coils go out as far as the ends of the grips and I don't want to take a chance and damage them. Can anyone advise? Thanks.
