That's right, the wall thickness is getting thinner. I took mine to a machine shop and they used a drill press. Hopefully they are strong enough to hold up.

And you have to drill this out for the complete length of the grip

Wouldn't it be just the length of the heating element?

This is the ID the bars had been for years though. So it's not as if it's a new thing in bar thickness.

This response i got from heatdemons :


^{Hi Klaus,
 
Greeting from USA.
 
From my spec sheet it would appear that our standard Heat Demon, Harley style would fit you bike.  This is the model for the standard 1" handle bar.  You have the choice of Chrome or Black for the switch.  The model would be 210046BET for black or 210045CET for chrome.
 
The price is $139.95 plus the shipping charge to Germany which is $29.75.
 
Sorry we do not have a dealer in Germany.
 
Thanks for your inquire.

That's what Roger said to me too, until I got them off and they were a tad under 7/8. Just be prepared to ream them out some. And you only need to go in as far as the heat shield goes in.

[Highjagger]

You took heatdemons 210045CET for 1" bar because there is also a 210045CET CHUB for 1 1/4" bar ?
Is it possible to reem out the ID of the bar per hand with sandpaper or is this not possible ?
Is only the chrome the removable material or more ( also of the steel ) ?

[Boatman]

I hope this does not confuse the issue as I have no experience with SERG bars.

I changed to the MOCO's "reach" bars on my wife's 2009 FLHX and install the Heat Demons.  The chrome "reach bars" were 1/16" smaller on the ID..  I took them to a machine shop where they set the bars up in a jig and used a reamer to remove the material inside the bars.  No way could you sand them out.

Hope this helps.

I also told Roger the reamed bars had marks inside and he said that would not be an issue with their heaters.

[Highjagger]

What the hell is a reamer ?
A drilling tool machine ?
I just do not know with what tool you are removing the material of the inside of the bar .
 Not possible with sandpaper is a helpful info , thxs , but i hoped so that this would be possible , damn .
Could you post a pic of the tool you used ?
Perhaps i could see it better than i translate .

[Indenial]

A reamer is like a drill bit, only not threaded all the way up. A machine shop will have one. When drilling it out, you're removing steel, so sanding or filing it won't work. It's quite a job and you need a drill press to keep it centered so you don't thin out one side too much.

 :2vrolijk_21:thxs ,
now i know exactly what i have to search .

Are there any issues known about the electrical heat demon unit and the electrical throttle by wire , i.e. electrical radiation that could influence the TBW unit ?
Do someone see a problem there ?
Like the maybe-problem of the hidden antennas and the TBW or the Hidlights and the TBW ??

[hdbrad03]

Mine have been installed for 1 year no issues.

As Brad said, there is no problem with the TBW and the Heat Demon's once the bars are the proper I.D..  I don't know why Harley had to change the inside diameter of some of their bars.   

[roadrunner]

Order mine for the 1.25 bars and chrome switch, over a year and working fine!

[Highjagger]

Now i received  a mail from symntec :
 
^{Hello Klaus,
 
I have made and error in the part I quoted you.  Our discussion of the 1 1/4" bar on your Road Glide made me realize that you must have the switch for the Chubby Bar and also the Electronic throttle. The P/N for this one is 210045CETCHUB.  This is the chrome switch and also the correct throttle side heater for  the Electronic throttle unit. I must also correct the price, This model is $149.95 and the shipping is $29.75,  I'm sorry for the misquote, I forgot match the correct model with your CVO Road Glide bar.
 
You will have to bore out the bar on the right side to .875" x 6'}
 

Now , which one do i need ? This chubby version (  what is a chubby bar )

[hdbrad03]

You do not need CHUB kit. Our Roadglides have 1 inch Bars. CHUB most likely indicates Wild1 Chubby Bars which are 1 1/4".
