    Nope - I wouldn't use them if they are not made for 7/8" bars. I also HATE grip glue - makes it a pain to remove - usually have to cut them off.

    Good ? harley when I got into this the 1" & 7/8" bar thing got me too. plenty of 7/8" options to be had. I've been playin with cheap gel grips I get at Jap bike shops like 6 to 10 bucks soft sticky grips.
    Good luck and welcome

    welcome Hi i know you can get Kuryakyn ISO grips 7/8 for the spyder so i would think you could get the Widow grips to fit. Do you have the Widow pegs?

    welcome I really wanted to try what you are thinking about but I decided it was just too much of a gap to try to use tape and glue. I ended up going with grip puppies with a throttlemeister. Its working for me.
