Grips

I'm sure the answer is here somewhere, but I'm having trouble finding it.

I just ordered some new bars and when I put them on I plan on putting aftermarket Kuryakyn style ISO grips. Their website http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/3798/ISO-Grips does not list our bikes, but shows a generic 1" bar would use the model #6240. I'm not one to spend $75 on a pair of grips so I've been looking for some on good ole eBay and found these...http://www.ebay.com/itm/160647676729?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m... and wonder if anyone knows if they will work with our throttle tube, etc.

We have 1 issue with putting on grips on the stock throttle tube.
The tube has ribs to engage with the grip. Sometimes these ribs make it difficult to get the grips on. Aftermarket grips don't have the ribs.

You are in luck, these come with a throttle sleeve.

I think if you order for the M50 or C50, you shouldn't have to do anything.

might get a pair myself. Cool

Posts: 1536 Pocatello, ID Gender:	Re: Grips Reply #5 - 10/20/11 at 06:57:58 And the same seller has these without the "throttle-boss" for about $10 less since it has free shipping. Since most my rides are short and I've never ridden with a "throttle-boss" I think I will go with this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/150674974611?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m...

If you do order them, it would be great if you could report your experience with them. I just might try a set.

They look good on his drag-bars. I hopped on his bike briefly and they felt comfy. But briefly was just around the parking lot.

These are HD mounts, can be made to work if you know what you're doing.
