Title: Longer hand grips
Post by webhead on 06/16/11 at 16:14:39

The stock handgrips are a little too small for me. I measured them and they are about 5 3/8" (5.375"). I would like to get them to at least
5 7/8"(5.875"). Any suggestions out there?

Thanks!

KC

Piece of cake.

You can order longer grip sets from several sources, JC Whitney is the easiest. You want a set for 1" bars. You can reuse your stock throttle sleeve or buy a set that comes with a new one.

I run an ancient Emgo set on my Savage that is close to 7" long. Comes with a metal throttle sleeve and a new throttle housing (old HD style).

Or go to Harley and drop $50 on a set.

Thanks WD. How hard are they to install?

Haha. I's actually just my palms. I have short fingers. My nickname was monkey wrench when I was a mechanic.
