Note that this is only on the part of the clamp that extends out from the bolt area.  You are not relieving the actual clamping area of the housing.

Somebody HAS to talk to the manufacturer to get them to offer chrome housing, black switch......  Can't understand why they don't!

They probably don't want to add another part number as the parts are already made, would just have to be assembled for the chrome housing/black switch.  In all reality, once the switch is on the bike, I have paid no attention to the Demon switch being chrome and all my other switches being black.  The button is so small, that for me, it is not an issue.

Wouldn't cost them anything, and they'd sell more to the anal guys like me.  It would just bother the heck out of me every time I looked at it!

Jim, it's difficult to be more interested in that kind of detail than I am.  So from a shared perspective let me say it's really not a big deal.  This switch blends in to the clamp housing which is a large field of chrome.  It's not visually associated with the other switches on any quick glance your eyes make.  In fact since we're used to seeing a solid chrome clamp there I think a black switch in the middle of it would actually look funny.

Yes, I know you are just as anal err.... particular as me, Don!  ;D  If you think it's OK, maybe it would be OK on my eye too.    So, I guess I have to be the one to say it....   :worthless:   :orange:

You bet, Spyd! My dad was like this and he passed it on to me.  It's not something I've had cause to thank him for over the years!  ;)

Jim, as Don stated, the chrome switch looks pretty much like the chrome removed handlebar clamp.

Here is the RH heater whose wires need to be fished to the left side if you put the switch on the LH side.

Here is the LH heater and all the wire connections take place here.
(wiring from RH heater, LH heater, switch, and power/ground wire).
Like Terry stated in the first post, a whole lot of wiring to get inserted into the handlebar with the LH heater.
