I was looking through some sled catalogs and wodered if anyone has put curved bar ends on their sled and put a new long grip on that covers the whole curved end with no seams. They say in the catalog that it won't work with Yamahas. Is there a way to put different heaters on to make it work?

I think PowerValve700 put some firecat grips on his viper. They look good and work id check out his sled it can be done.
I found a pic of his set up check it out.

My brother has bar hooks on his Pro-X and while they give a sled a "racer" look, I didnt think that they helped at all with leverage or added ability to lean farther in the turns.

I feel the opposite about the hook on my bar, I only see the need for one clutch side. Can't really use the other side and give it throttle at the same time. I love the hook on my sled!Captain_Toyota said:

Agreed, after riding a sled with hooked bars I added a hook on my RX. I just put one on the clutch side because (Like Topgunn said) you can't really use one on the throttle side.
They help alot in aggressive situations.

I like my hooks also. Like these guys said you can't really use the one on the throttle side, but I didn't like the looks of it with only hook.

Thanks TG for posting the pic. I used a set of handwarmers that wrap around bars. I couldn't find any hooks that were the same OD as the bars so I filed down a set of Sportech hooks. I also cut about 3/4" off each end of the bars because they felt a bit too wide.
I may look into a lefty throttle, I think it would be really good for the way I ride.

You can use a wrap around heater like pictured above and the slp has a kit with grip and hook to make it one piece.each kit does one side and is $22 so for $44 you can do both sides.the hand warmer part is $30 for pair.
Or if you already have some bar hooks you can get the grips for $20 a pair and slide them over your hooks.But you will still need the hand warmers also.I have a set of used hooks for $10 if you wanted to just get the grips and warmers.then you would only have $60 into everything.
Heres a pic of the slp kit
