My aftermarket HG approach does not use the much dreaded orange wire. The switch low setting goes to the low elements in the grips so the orange wire is not needed.
My 93 LT had the orange wire issue one day when I left the grips on the low setting for too long. I saw smoke from under the left side of the tank when I stopped and the guy I was meeting said he'd never seen anybody take off a gas tank that quickly.
It now has a PWM controller to run the OEM HGs.
