Good write up Pointer2null, but yer pictures are crap.
Anyway thanks, I followed your guide to fit my grips.
Took me ages to figure out the fuse box, and I didn't want to wreck it. But eventually got there.
I took some photos. They key one ain't great, I really needed a tri-pod, my extension tubes and my off camera flash lead, but I didn't bring them with me (done in my old man's garage as I don't have one).
So OK, lets see if I can post pictures. Hope it still works as it used to.

This is on my 2004 Fazer thou. I have two live feeds to the fuse box, each with a spare tag. As you can see I've pulled one pair out. To do this I slipped an instrument screwdriver down between each of the two clips, I then pushed firmly (no need to force it) on the flat of the rail (not on the rounded bits the fuses plug into, you don't want to push on these). An extra pair of hands is handy to do this (note old boy's paw).
Here's a crap close up. It should show the clips though. They just rest against the tags keeping them in place.

Couple of notes.
I removed the battery before I started - just good practice. I put the battery back in to check that that was indeed a switch live as per my wiring diagram. I then again removed the battery.
This is the feed to the headlamps and the fan. This is the un-fused side. The only fuse back from this switched live is the main 30amp fuse. So make sure you retain the in-line fuse supplied with the heated grips, or you could risk a serious melt-down sometime in the future.
Oh and naturally you do this at your own risk. It's got bugger all to me with me if it turns to shit. I take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information. Blah blah blah.

This shows where I mounted the switch as recommended by fazgen2, you can just see it behind the brake master cylinder.
