Kuryakyn 6340 Premium ISO Handlebar Grips for Throttle and Clutch: Universal Fit for Motorcycles with 1" Diameter Bars, Gloss Black, 1 Pair

The grips arrived nicely packaged with instructions, glue and a spacer for bars too long for the grips. I installed them in about 30 minutes, but I did not glue them in place. I've read in other reviews that the glue sets up real fast, so I opted to simply wet the bars with soapy water and slip the grips into place. This worked well, and they seem solid.The clutch side grip was very easy to install. Simply remove the factory grip by inserting a screwdriver under the rubber and spray a little WD40 between the rubber and chrome handle bar. The grip will easily twist off afterward. The new grip slid into place with little effort and lined up perfectly. Nice and solid.The throttle side grip was a little trickier. Removal of the old grip was basically the same, except you'll be inserting the screwdriver between the rubber grip and the plastic throttle housing. Once off, the fun starts. The instructions say you need to sand down any ribs or ridges on the plastic throttle housing for the grip to fit properly. I thought I would disregard this minor annoyance, and quickly found out I needed to do as the instructions say. Sanding the ridges off didn't go so well. I had to employ my grinder to carefully rid the plastic housing from the ridges. You have to go up to nearly the very end of the housing too. There is a wider ridge that runs around the plastic housing that will keep the grip from fully seating on the bar. You need to grind it down. Just be careful to not grind through the plastic all the way. It is fairly thick, but if you use a grinder like I did, there won't be much room for error.After the grinding, the grip slid into place with a little soapy water and looks beautiful. If you aren't careful, the rubber bumps on the grip will push out of place. They easily push back into place, so don't worry if this happens to you.On my bike, I didn't need the plastic spacer sleeve. You might, so try a trial fit to be sure.Overall, I'm very pleased with these grips. They look great, feel solid and make the vibrations in my bar nearly unnoticeable. Great purchase!

I was always skeptical on why someone would spend $60-80 for a set of grips... until I rode a friend's bike with Kuryakyn ISO grips... I was sold within the first few miles. Whether you have 7/8" bars or 1" bars, the O.D. of the grips are the same, and larger is better for comfort and grip. These sure beat the uneven size of my stock grips, which wore me out. I wish I had replaced them with Kuryakyn ISO grips a LONG time ago!Grips are heavy (about a pound, each), which reduce vibration in your bars (and makes your hands happy on long rides)Spaces between "bumps" allow for great air-flowRubber is an excellent grip, with or with out gloves, not too hot in the sun, not numbing cold in cool weatherChrome is over metal... NOT plastic like the ISO knock-offs being sold everywhereGrips are very easy to install, as long as you have about 45-min to spare... Here's some hints not in instructions:1. Clean off old glue with goo-off or similar cleaner/degreaser2. Instructions say to remove bar-end weights... this is not necessary if the weights are "internal" to the bar3. Instructions say to remove ribs from throttle tube... this was not necessary on my Honda (grip fit tight, without glue), as grip's rubber interior locked easily onto the tiny ribs of the throttle tube... this also removed the possibility that any glue might get between throttle tube and bar... and "freeze-up" the throttle. I may add some glue later (if I notice any slippage), but for now... it hasn't been necessary... and there wasn't any glue on my stock grip either.4. Use the glue liberally (whole tube of glue) on the clutch-side... twisting the grip (one direction only) onto the bar will reduce "plowing" glue and help to spread it evenly on the bar5. ABOVE ALL... TAKE YOUR TIME... Don't rush the process... Once the glue sets, there's no "un-do" or "tweaking"Glue sets in about 20-seconds, and reaches 75% cure in 5-10 minutes. Glue will fully cure in 8-hrs (if outdoors)... but the longer you wait (up to 24-hrs) the better, to ensure maximum curing of the glue before putting torque on the grips... you really don't want one falling off in your hand while accelerating down the highway :)

Look great on the VTX1800R. Functionally much better than OEM. Very comfortable for long rides. Add teh throttle boss with it

The grips seem great, but I would NOT use the provided grip adhesive. I only got the right grip on about halfway down the throttle tube before the glue completely hardened, ruining the grip. I had to cut it off and am trying to salvage my throttle tube and may have wasted 70 bucks on these grips. I am in the process of trying to order a single grip from Kuryakyn as a replacement, but I'm not optimistic.FYI grips were being installed on a 2002 Honda Shadow 750 ACE.EDIT: I emailed Kuryakyn and told them the issue I had with the provided adhesive; I told them I would like to purchase a single grip (since it was my fault after all). They were very helpful and acknowledged the issue with the provided adhesive. They shipped me a new grip free of charge. This time I used gorilla glue and was happy with the results.
