Worn heated grips

My 'new' 11S has had anti vibe sleeves fitted but I do not like them, they make the grips to thick, I peeled them back but the original grips are very worn so I want to replace them, is the heated element built into the rubber grip or the bar? Should I fit OE grips?

Ride height

I know this subject has been done to death but I cannot find a definate answer for this one, the bike I am looking at has a Ramstrut fitted, if I adjust it so the seat height is as low as possible will it put any adverse stress on the drive linkage in the swingarm?

Re: R1100S Cubic Capacity on V5?

I have just asked the same question for the 11S I am looking to buy, it is 1130 on the V5 and the .GOV site, also shows as a 1130 on the HPI report, trouble is when I tried to get insurance it shows as a 1085 so my worry is if I tried to claim in the future they would havea get out of jail free card.
