Review on 🚴 Billet Rubber 1" 25mm Handlebar Grips: Chrome Blue, Compatible with Harley XL Sportster 883 1200 - HTTMT TRHB114A-25 by Adam Ross

Disappointing quality and design, great comfort and looks

I LOVE the style and feel. With bare hands you will feel like Superman. The problem, as others have said, is the design and poor manufacture. I installed the left grip and it fit perfectly and seemed solidly built. Then I installed the throttle and on the first turn the rubber outside grip separated from the throttle tube. I just removed it from the end of the handlebars, the throttle tube remained intact with the throttle controls. I cleaned it with degreaser, dried it and coated the gas tube with rubber glue, then reattached the outside handle. I don't know if this fresh new glue will last more than a week, I doubt it. This is due to the contact of rubber with a plastic hose. Maybe guerrilla glue or epoxy will hold the two materials together properly. I'll end up throwing them away and ordering something else if they get lost again :( It's a shame because they look and feel great. Disappointed.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
