Regarding the heated grips themselves, Honda OEM or aftermarket? which is more popular? My gut tells me Honda OEM.

Regarding the Hand guards: I currently have a Dart Marlin Screen (Smoke) and I want to keep up with that same "blacked out" look, so if i get hand guards that are clear, i'd prefer if they were also heavily tinted. The only one I've seen like that in my limited research is the Chicdesign model (https://www.samurider.com/?p=17262). Are there any alternatives? It's worth pointing out that i'm also not completely sold on them being transparent either. If there are any solid black ones i'd take a look at those too.

What are some common things i could accidently permanently ruin due to inexperience while installing heated grips?

Will the handguard from an AfricaTwin fit?
GO since you had both bikes, will it fit?
Last week during the bike ride, I saw the handguard on the AfricaTwin and closely looked at it - it seemed that it can fit the CB.
Regards
Alain

Hey Alain: I actually have never given any thought to the hand guards on the AT. Apparently, the AT OEM hand guards suck, that is, they are fragile. This would be apparent on the first nap, err, um, ... drop of the bike. That is all I really know, and sizing would not even be an after thought. I think there are likely better third party protection options for the artistic CB1100 than AT hand guards.
