I installed mine yesterday, and they seem to heat up fairly quick. Now if they just last a few years I'll be happy. They've come down in price from what I understand too.

I know it's a little off topic. Get some Gerbings heated gloves. Lifetime warranty. Get the grips you really want instead of limiting yourself.

Yes YES they are that bad. Get heat Demons!

I can't tell, but will Heat Demons work on 1-1/4" bars? I'd like to add a set to the Night Train.

Got em on my 11 FLHTK and they work just fine. Just went on a trip last week to Tennesee and had em on most of the time.

Email them with technical questions like this. If anything, you might need to mill out a bit from the inside of the bars.

It's actually the outside I'm worried about. The switch housing looks like it will only fit 1" bars.
