For anyone still wanting to get the Heat Demons, Kuryakyn now sells them.
Chrome-part# 6283   List I believe was $129.95

Black-   part# 6282   List was $109.95

You should be able to get 15-20% off if you shop around.  Am ordering the blacks for my wife's Fatboy from Mark at M&M Cycles as he is giving an extra 5% off thru Friday.

Still don't know how long they will last, but they sure feel/work good.

Bob,  Did you install  yours yourself, or have a shop do it for you?

[roadrunner]

Is there a website for Heat Demons?  I would like to look at the instructions before ordering.  Thanks

[bisounours]

It's the page for Heat Deamons :
http://kuryakyn.com/products.asp?bn=harley&ci=3888

but without instruction sheet !

Perhaps, somebody is able to scan a sheet with his kit !

Candy-

I know that Don, Terry, and myself installed our own.  It is not necessarily hard, but a real PIA..  Since you already have heated grips, talk to Terry as he also went from heated grips to Heat Demons.  Bob

On the SEEG's and SEUC's you don't have to drill any holes in the bars.  Leave bars on and take off lower inner fairing (that houses switches) and do all work from there.  No need to remove radio or outer fairing.  When fishing the wires thru the bars, I couldn't make it from end to end in one take so I just made it to the middle of the bar and then refished from ther middle to the other end (there is a large opening in the middle of the bars where they mount on the risors).

Thanks, I have the wild1 bars, shouldnt think that would be an issue.

Bob did the task like I did, from the tank side.  TC and one or two others did it from the front.

It doesn't matter how you get access to the bottom of the handlebars.  You just need to get there.

It's not that pulling the outer fairing and radio (on a bike that isn't my bike) is at all difficult.  I do think, however, that pulling the tank and fairing cap would probably be quicker.  With all that out of the way there is plenty of room beneath the handlebars.

Wish I had seen these on Terry and Bob's bikes at MV now that I am interested in installing.   How are they holding up?  I am going to install on right side as my GPS is switch housing mounted on the left side.

No problem on the right side, Pete...I've got my Legend Shock switch on the left, so did the Heat Demons on the right.  The LED is just "upside down", but it really makes no difference, as you can see it fine either way.  The install is pretty easy.  I've used mine a good bit so far, and they are working well.  It's such a simple device, there's not a lot to screw up.  The heating elements are just circuits laid on a piece of flexible metal of some sort...roll 'em up and insert into the ends of the bars, wire it, and you're good to go.  Took me about 3 hours to install, and I pulled the outer fairing and radio out to get a better view of things, and make it easier on mine becsause the left side bar has the legend wiring in it, so it's tighter than normal.

They get the grips nice and toasty....

How are they holding up? 

Pete, known of us know that yet.  All I know is that they work great on low, with thin gloves, in 35-40 degree weather.  I believe the company is from Minnesota and originally made them for snowmobiles.  Never had the MOCO heated grips to compare to.  Maybe Terry could say how the HD's compare to the MOCO's?

Unfortunately, we now need heated clutch/brake levers as they are pretty cold when going from the stock grips.

Bob, check out Iron Braids for some nice leather braided spoons.  It's not the same as being heated.  But it's a lot better than bare cold metal.

oops, thought I got this in the last post.

Thanks Don for the link.  Almost forgot about the braided levers on their website with the picture of the young gal at the top.

Made me go look .


I did a maroon and cream to try to tie in the red and gold from the bike.  With the black seat on then I used black braid for the end ties.  With the tan seat I might have done it differently.  But it still works ok.  There's just about the same colors in the new SAC grips so it still works well.
