Kuryakyn Iso-Grip Handlebar Grips   WHY? Comfort and style.  I've had Kuryakyn Iso-Grips on several past rides and find them to be very comfortable; I also like their looks.  Since I knew exactly what I wanted, I shopped around to find a good deal.  I found what I wanted on the Republic Cycle eBay store--Kuryakin part #6212.  This set of grips also included the Kuryakyn throttle boss; list price on the setup is $69.95, but I paid $54 plus shipping.  I completed the sale through eBay and paid via Paypal. SERVICE.  Excellent.  I received an email confirmation from them immediately after ordering, then a shipping notice the next day.  The grips arrived two days later via USPS Priority Mail; that kind of service is just about as good as it gets from an online vendor. INSTALLATION. Not too difficult, and one that can be accomplished by the average home mechanic; as a matter of fact, anyone who owns a motorcycle should become familiar with this process.  I've changed dozens of sets over the years, and the process is pretty much the same for any make and model of bike.  There are a few areas that I should note for anyone attempting a grip change for  the first time: -The easiest way to remove the left-hand grip is to cut it off.  If you want to keep it you can usually break it loose by inserting a small screwdriver between the grip and the handlebar.  Spray a little shot of WD-40 between the two and work the screwdriver around until the grip breaks free. -The new grips will come with a tube of adhesive, but an old racers trick is to clean the old adhesive off the bar then spray it liberally with hair spray.  Slide the new grip in place quickly and let it set overnight--it should stay firmly in place. -The right-hand grip is a little more difficult because the throttle cables must be transferred from the old throttle sleeve to the new one.  Proceed with care, don't force anything, and remember to adjust the slack in the throttle cables when you're done. RESULTS.  Really nice.  I like the looks of the new grips and they are slightly larger than stock, making them easier on my hands.  The Softail doesn't vibrate excessively, but the rubber inserts in the grips do a good job of filtering out most of the vibrations that do appear.  The throttle boss is a nice touch also.  I don't care for friction-type throttle controls, but my right hand does occasionally need some cramp-busting relief during a long ride.  The throttle boss is a small tab on the end of the grip that enable me to maintain throttle position with the heel of my palm while flexing and resting my fingers.  It's a small detail, but a nice one. Worth the money?   Absolutely.  I couldn't complain about the stock grips, but the Iso-Grips look much better and are much more comfortable for my old, aching hands.  This purchase was a very well-spent $60.
