Is there a certain type of grip that will fit our bikes, or will any of the grips made for Harleys fit? Are there any modifications that need to be made?

Harley grips will not work. I am running OEM Kawasaki grips on mine

I took mine in and we just put them side by side with a new set right out of the package, I don't know if they were for a Vulcan or whatever, but the dealer should be able to help you out.

I used Harley bobber grips...just had to modify the throttle controls a little bit and adjust throttle cables and carbs...not that difficult, well worth it...most comfy grips I ever had...fat rubber grips...slid right on 1" bars

I had the Kuryaken grips on mine. I liked them with the throttle boss.

The "Old School" grips like bonedaddy's are what I was looking for. How much/ hard is modification that needs to be done to make these fit? What is the difference on how the throttle hooks on to these grips vs the Triumph?

I have red "vintage" harley grips on my speedy. Left side slides right on, right however was a quite a pain to slide over the throttle sleeve but its doable. I ended up using soap to get it to slide on. No worries about it ever coming off!

I have these grips. They fit with length perfect. However, the throttle one had to be lathed (is that a verb) to fit inside the housing on my 08 America. They are really comfortable and look classy. PM Renthals
