You are darned right it is new. At 2k miles it is almost broken in. Good luck wearing it out. My Vision is at about 28k miles and is no way acting as if it is wearing out. I have replaced the tires once and the front brakes twice though.
No battery tender connection on my 2013 Vision so I don't know that they are "standard". I never use my seat heaters although I do ride down to about 20ºF. The grip heaters are a different matter. Mine tend to be on "low" at anything below about 40ºF.
