Several times in the past, people have talked about the ISO Grips for our bikes, and all the hassles of getting them on (sanding, cutting, trimming, lubricating, etc...) Well, just got a set from Ma's Cycles last week, that are custom made for our bikes, and they fit like a dream. No modifications of any sort. Here is the link:

Although the instructions say it isn't really needed, I did find that I needed to slacken the carb end of the cables to get enough slack to disconnect and reconnect the cable ends to the throttle grip. It really is a breeze, both sides took me about 20 min. total. The clutch side is a simple glue and slide on (there is a small hollow spacer that needs to be measured and cut with a razor to fill the gap inside between the end of the bar and the end of the grip, but that is very simple, mine was about 5/8". I then gave the glue about 20 minutes to set just to be sure, and off I rode. Pics are in my gallery, including closeups. They are nice and squishy heavy foam and nice looking chrome. However, one item, they are big, I mean, I feel like Conan holding his sword big, so for those with small hands, it might pose a problem reaching the levers. My hand measures 5 1/4" if I form an "L" with my thumb and forefinger, and measure from the side of my thumb to the top of my forefinger, I think the minimum would be about 4 3/4" for that measurement, since your index finger is a bit longer. The distance from the backside of the throttle grip to the front side of the brake lever is 3 3/4" next to the throttle housing so your finger should reach further than that to have good control.
