Any 1290 owners running bar end mirrors with heated grips?

I picked up a set of CRG Arrow Bar ends a few months ago. They look super clean, no vibes at higher revs, and work better than the stock mirrors.

This cold, wet Pacific Northwest winter prompted me to buy a set of the powerparts heated grips. I installed 'em, but now I can't fit my left mirror back on. On the right I made room for the bar end by moving the throttle control assembly a few cm inwards. On the left, however, there's a little pre-drilled hole where the left grip secures to underside of the bar, which holds the grip in place along with the bar end. This doesn't leave enough space on the outer portion of the bar to secure the mirror and bar end. Has anyone successfully fitted bar ends along with the PP heated grips? If so, what did you do? Right now I'm just using 1 mirror on the right side, but that's not ideal for me.
