Kuryakyn grips for 800A

BRlawman · 06-21-2005

I want to change the grips on my 800A. I know from everyone elses opinion on grips that I should go with the Kuryakyn. My question is this, are they much bigger in diameter than the stock grips? I like the size of the stock grips and don't want to put any on that are larger. If they are larger, can anyone recommend some that aren't? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

The Kuryakyn Iso grips are a little bit bigger in diameter than the stock foam grips. Before I put them on my 800A, I had a problem with my left hand kind of going numb and tingling. With the Kuryakyn grips I don't seem to have that problem.

Yeah man, they are bigger. But they are nice nice nice especially with the throttle boss. and look freakin cool. If I didn't get the Kuryakyn grips my next choice would have been Jardine. Im sure they arent as thick, but they look cool too, but they are over $100. and you cant get anything like the throttle boss.

Guess I'm gonna bite the bullet and get the Kuryakyn grips. Hope they are not too much bigger.

They'll be fine BR. If they feel a little bigger it's just because there a little spongier than the stock ones.

my hands have never been happier with the iso grips and throttleboss.

Get um. They may be a little larger, but after one ride you will not notice it because they are so much more comfortable.

Ok, now I just need to find time to make it down to the local cycle shop.

I find the ISO grips too large. What I did was to put on the Pro Grips (~$11). Pro grips are more comfortable and looks better than the stock but you maintain the same grip size. Unlike the ISO grips, you keep the existing plastic throttle sleeve and put the new one over it. I got mine from J&P cycles.
