Hot Grips to Ignition wiring?

Have recently fitted oxford hot grips to my SV, but keep wondered what will happen if i forget to turn them off after a ride n the bike is left with them running for a while. I know that obviously the battery will go flat and thus the alarm with it.
But i wondered if there was any way of wiring the power line into the ignition so that the grips will only run when the ignition is switched on?

Cheers

Have a look at this guide
http://www.independentphoto.co.uk/me...ngHotGrips.pdf

I know that on a curvy, if the tank is lifted there is a green connector where the ignition conects to the rest of the bike's loom - the orange wire on this (i beleive, it may be an orange and yellow wire) is live when the ignition is ON, but not live when the igntion is OFF. You can use a scotchlock to connect the live wire of he heated grips to this, then either earth at the frame using an eye-type connector on the bolt that holds the tank down, or run the earth to the battery

My heated grips are wired into the ignition, it is far safer and I dont worry so much anymore.

under the riders seat i think its a yellow wire that connects to the radiator fan use that you never need heated grips and the fan on the sv.

Agreed.

Note that the above fitting guide does not include the use of a relay to switch the supply to the grips, which I strongly recommended. Wired as shown, without the use of a relay, the possibility of a fault with the grips causing the main fuse to blow is slim, but present.

Here you go.

I've had my hotgrips wired in this way forever, and they've never given my reg/rect or battery any bother.

Thx for the suggestions, think il have a look at both options suggested next time i have access to the garage.
Thinking the fuse box might be the safest with the relay fitted so might try tht.

Sorry - edit .... link above is the easiest option ..... .... underneath fuse box you'll find the main RED/ORANGE wire, and two empty holes either side ... just solder the wire in to one of these 'empty' slots .... job done ...

I did mine that way .... works perfectly off the ignition .....

ps ... my hotgrips are for sale in the 'for sale' section .... heated jacket and gloves for me now ...

I'm sure my hotgrips just turn themselves off when the key is removed. But I might be mistaken.
