XTX handlebars swap

[honda400ex2]

Hi,

Just bought a 14' Viper XTX and need to replace the bars as they are bent. Looking for a good set of used bars with the handwarmers already on; as I was reading it might be a problem to get off my old handwarmers off the bent bars.
Am seeing more used bars from Arctic cat sled out there. Are their bars all the same size and bend, that they would fit. I measured the Viper and it seems the outside diameter is 7/8''. Can do with out the mountain handle.

The hand warmer plug is a 2 prong on the Viper; the best I can tell it is the same on the AC sleds.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

I replaced the bars on my sons 14 xtx with Arctic cat bars. They are the same as Yamaha ones as they were the ones that made them or had them made in the first place and they were cheaper. When you go to get hand warmers, the cat guy gave me an inside tip. Get the handwarmers off the 2012 Pro Cross anything as they are exactly the same as the Viper/7000 ones but are about half the price. I checked them both, bought the 12's and installed them with no issues at all and saved about $80.
