Review on ๐Ÿ๏ธ Kuryakyn 6351 Premium Kinetic Handlebar Grips: Dual Cable Throttle Control, Fits 1982-2019 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, Gloss Black, 1 Pair by Gary Morris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good grips but it would be nice to change the design of the mount.

Iso grips are usually the first thing I buy after buying a new bike. I used to buy Kinetics to try something different but ended up dropping them and going back to the Iso because they were too tight for my gloves. However, we recently bought a bike for my wife and thought the iso grips might be too big. around for her, bought a kinetics set and she loves it. Good grip, much more comfortable than stock grips and they look good and are of high quality. What you like to feel on the handlebars is a pretty personal thing, but if you have big hands and like a big grip, they might not fit. be for you If your hands are smaller or you would like your grips to be a little closer to standard size, I'd happily recommend Kinetics. However, I gave it a star because Kuryakyn does a versatile thing, so instead of taking the Arlen Ness approach and letting it "clamp" you need to glue the left side handle to the bar. This means if you use the included super glue you have a very short chance of getting it right. If you're wrong, you've just wasted your $75 because the grip won't disengage from the handlebars without damaging the rubber inserts. Also, forget about swapping out the grips or removing them after a week (after deciding you don't like them) and reselling them. It's not going to happen unless you find someone who just wants side throttle.

Pros
