In this video, I am showcasing how I decided to install the Whites heated grips (also known as Koso Apollo in other markets) by using a spare throttle tube from Motion Pro. This way, all the original OEM parts are preserved and I can revert the setup back to the original state if needed. Moreover, in this video I demonstrate how I mount the control block for the grips, which is different to anybody else I've seen so far. I think my version is a bit cleaner :).

NOTE: Instead of glueing the throttle grip on the bike, it is highly advisable to do it off the handlebar first, so there is no chance the excessive glue will get between the tube and the bar. Also, use a decent superglue instead of the included one. I had to redo the grip 6 months later using Loctite™️ Extreme.
