I ride a 2009 ABS which I have replaced both the windshield and the grips. I installed a 2010 windshield on my 2009. As for the heated grips I put on a set of Show Chromegrips. Both of these items were purchased through my dealer as part of my original bike purchase because I knew the conditions of my riding would demand a better windshield and heated grips. I ride year round in Kansas for an hour to and from work everyday unless it is icy, too wet or snowing and the larger windshield and grips are a MUST. I also would look into what are called 'hand wings' which are small wind deflectors that are mounted onto the front fairing next to the rear-view mirrors. Hand wings give just enough more additional deflection of the on-coming wind to keep the tips of your thumbs from going numb on sub freezing rides...or at least that is my experience.

Sometimes I sits....sometimes I sits and thinks...but mostly I ride.
