Heated grip switch on the SE version

[UFO]

That doesn't worry me too much, but is the grip length on the SE about the same as on the standard?

The reason they did this is because the heated grips are an optional feature you can add to the standard SX. I guess they could have just made it standard for both and integrated it into the switch pod on both. But people who aren't that interested in sport touring features probably aren't interested in heated grips.

I doubt it will block much and like anything new I'm sure you'll get used to it. The ktrc and up and down selector switch are right there and it looks like the heated grip switch is rotated down and lower. The cruise control and reset switch don't look to far out of reach and your probably not using those when you need to have a good good on the bars anyways. I normally tend to hold on closer to the end of the bars aswell so I doubt it will matter to me at all. Have you seen the control switches on a Goldwing or Ultraglide? Now that's a cluster of crap.
