RE: Heated grips question
I just installed a set on my '14 DLX....
Honestly, it's not an "easy" job, but mostly because it's time consuming with lots of fiddly steps. There is nothing in the procedure that a semi-mechanically inclined person can't handle with the instructions and notes from forum members (which are INVALUABLE).
Full disclosure; I also installed a set of lower bars at the same time which made a few steps easier but complicated getting the throttle cables set afterward. That probably won't be an issue if you keep the stock bars.
Some things to keep in mind if you do it yourself...
Plan ahead and make sure you have all the supplies you'll need on hand, to include an extra fuel line fitting and rubber insert. Pulling the tank is a must and reusing the old connector probably isn't worth the chance of it failing down the road. Aside from removing the tank, getting the electronics tray out is the next part of the job that requires some serious patience. The rest is just time consuming and tedious due to poor illustrations in the instructions and limited access/clearances for routing the harness.
If all of this sounds like more than you'd want to take-on, my suggestion for taking it to a dealer would be to find a service tech that has done it before (on a CB or similar Honda). Better yet, get a mechanically inclined buddy to help you out. That way, you know the particulars are done right and you'll save some coin on labor.
