Looking for new grips for my Spyder, and I happened to come across the Hunter Flat Bars. Has anyone used these on any Bike?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I'd be more concerned about whether they'd stay on with the force we put on the Spyder grips... much more than on a two-wheeler, IMHO.

Not really the same thing. The idea behind the flat bars is very interesting. If you want a good throttle-lock - throttlemeister is a great one. While the crampbuster is really cheap ($10) you can't remove your hand from the bar to rest on your leg, etc. --- at least as far as I know you can't.

Here is a link to the installation instructions page. States you have to cut the bars.

Thanks, bud. It appears that the only thing holding them on is an expanding grommet inside the original handlebars. If one could "pin" them in... through the handlebars... I might use them.

I don't think I'd be worried about them coming out. If it did come loose it would slide a bit - not like it's going to just fling all the way out on you.
The Throttlemeister uses expanding rubber grommets that push against the inside of the bar - and even when loosening them they take a bit of work to remove. When tightened, there isn't any way you would be able to pull a TM out of the end of the bar.

The Throttlemeister is not the grip. It's merely a "plug in" on which you do not depend on.
And, yes, I am concerned about handlebar grips coming off in an aggressive curve... ever had them slip on you? That could be one of the worst things (or the last thing) that ever happens to you... or me.
With nothing more than a friction grip on the inside of the bars, I personally would not use them. If I just had to have them, I would figure out a way to pin them in... doesn't look like it would be that hard to do.
But, that's just me and this is just my opinion. To each, his own! :2thumbs:
p.s. I would NOT be concerned about using these on two-wheelers where the rider's steering force is much less.
