I've had the Heat Demons for about a year now and really like them. It wasn't until recently that I discovered that if you hold down the switch a couple seconds, the indicator lights will dim for night riding. Just thought I'd throw that in.
I just installed my Heat Demons Sunday night and I think they are going to be great. My Kuryakyn grips got so hot I wouldn't want my bare hand on there on the highest setting.
If you go with them PM me for some install tips I learned. I even posted a little about the install the other day.

Heat Demon does have kits to fit the Chub bars. All distributors do not list them in cataloges and some dealers do not know about them, but they now have an application for almost every configuration. Go to www.heatdemon.com or call the company (number is on the website). Note the new logo and look - it's pretty cool!!!
All I see on the web site are these, it says Excludes 1 1/4" chubbys. Am I missing something? Not all 1 1/4 bars are the same, the chubbys are thicker than most and the ID is smaller.
B. Designed for all ' 08 & newer with Electronic throttle (Touring Class) :

They sell some for Chubby's. That is what I have on my bike. If you try to use the regular ones on Chubbys you will have to ream out the ends of the handlebars a little so they fit.
D'Artagnan.....Thats good to know about being able to dim them. I missed that in the paperwork if it was even in there.

So you have Wild 1 bars and the 1-1/4" heat demons worked without reaming the inside of the bar?
Does the controller actually need to be fitted over the 1-1/4" bar? Right now my clutch is on the 1" side.

Thats correct. They were made for them. If you look at the ebay item I posted above they have them. The controller just replaces your existing clutch clamp cap. (say that 3 times fast LOL) The Chubby bars are turned down in the grip/control areas so that all your stock hardware works.
You can see in the picture how the ends are smaller.
