Kuryakyn Grips on the RT (with heat)

[jcthorne]

just installed these exact same grips. Love them :thumbup::thumbup: now if only the rain will stop:banghead::banghead::banghead:

You installed the chrome or black grips? My problem was Kuryakyn says they do not have a throttle boss that fits the black grips, Rick maintained the ones they were selling would fit. They do not fit correctly and do not look like the ones in the photo when installed. The ones in the photo are chrome and use a different part number throttle boss that does fit the chrome grips.

Since I have all chrome, installed the chrome ones.

They should have fit exactly as the chrome, the grips are the same and throttle boss is the same.
We do not want you to be unhappy. There may be a small difference in the black grips that are giving you the problem. We have had a lot of people install those chrome ones.
Send it back in the mail, we will credit you back everything and give you credit for the the return shipping.

I for sure lost some heat after the mod...........they do still get warm enough for me......bear in mind though.....I live on the gulf coast, not New York.
Other than that, great mod, they are very fat, I have big hands they feel great to me. I also put the throttle boss on the right side.....i like it too......

I lost some of the heat too, but now that i moved to Florida, i guess I have to think about a/c grips!​

I had the same thing happen to me. What I did was to stretch the spring just a slight bit.
I then used a small screw driver to help line up the pin inside the handle. Then carefully installed the end cap
Good luck
