Can't believe you don't already orange and black braided levers Gary.  Talk about perfect complement to a bike (and a wardrobe)....

Along w/the Orange Flamed Sac Grips those braided levers would be awesome. As long as I keep finding things to get for my I'll never be finished w/customizing and want to get rid of it.

I know,  I'm 'on the fence' on those myself......I've got 'em on the ole 94 Special, but not sure how they'd look on the 'huckleberry'.  You try 'em on your's and that will give me more info.  Don's look good on his bike the way it's done, but ea. scooter has it's own personality and approach...maybe that would be what I'd need to cause me to diamond cut the motor.  har!  spyder

Don't know when it'll happen, but as always any additions will be displayed here as soon as they happen.

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  I believe the company is from Minnesota and originally made them for snowmobiles.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.

Well, I never ride without some kind of full fingered glove on, so I generally have mine on either 2, 3, or 4, depending.  On the HD grips, I usually had them nearly to the max or maxed out.  The Demons are warmer, IMO.  If I have my regular deerskin gloves on, I can get by with setting 2, but if I've got the PCI gloves on, I generally need them on 3 or 4.  Because I'm never without gloves, I don't notice the temp of the levers, plus I ride 80% of the time with two fingers covering the levers.  It's a habit I got into many years ago and the way I'm most comfortable.....I know the courses you take say not to do that any more, but I think that is because new riders don't need to be grabbing a handful of front brake when they aren't used to it.  Plus, I have just never cared much for the lever covers, no matter the style...I likes 'um shiney...

At any rate, the grips work extremely well, IMO, and like Bob said, they were probably made for snowmobiles, so I suspect they will hold up well.  Hell, only the MOCO seems unable to make a heated grip that is dependable...go figure.

I am considering purchasing the Kur. Prem ISO-Grips and the heat demons.  According to this post NO holes are required to be drilled in the 1.25 Wild1 bars and the ISO grips will fit along with the heat demons controller! Please correct me if I am wrong.  I will be ordering in a few days. Thanks!!

True as far as you go.  If you have the older non-tapered version of the Wild1 bars you'll need to do a fair bit of grinding to clamp/switch housing supplied with the Heat Demons package.  If you've got the newer tapered version of the handlebars you won't need to do this.

I believe I have the older bars bought in March 2005, mount had to be machined down.  I am trying to get as much info before buying.  I'd rather not drill a hole in the bars.

You'll be ok there. Existing hole in the bar is fine.  Plenty of room and it's in the right place.  I already did what you're preparing to do with the same handlebars.  You're only extra task will be some time with a rotary grinder working down the supplied clamp to get a nice fit.  A surprising amount of material will need to be removed.

[roadrunner]

Which clamp are you referring to?

[Twolanerider]

Which clamp are you referring to?

The new clamp that you receive with the Heat Demons package.  It is a combination switch housing clamp and Heat Demons switch housing.  If you've got the older styled non-tapered handlebars it will have to be worked on a bit to clear the bars.
