I replaced my Avon grips with these Arlen Ness Deep-cut grips. After less than a year the rubber on the Avons was disintegrating. I really like the feel of these so far. Installation was no better or worse than most grips. My only screw-up (there is usually at least one) was cutting the extension sleeve that was supplied with the grips about 3/16th too long. So when I slip the clutch side grip on it doesn't butt up to the control housing. Not very noticeable, except to me. Otherwise very happy with the end reults.

Those grips look really nice. And I have the same mirrors

What didn't you like about the other grips detailed in your gallery?

Also noticed you ended up swapping out the Arlen Ness mirrors....

The Rubber on my other grips was disintegrating and starting to crack. Not sure why. I had the ness small teardrop mirrors, but just couldn't see anything with them. Their larger ones (radIII I believe) are just too big, they seem disproportionate. These mirrors are perfect for me, decent visibility and style.

Those grips and mirrors look sweet! Where did you get those mirrors? (they look like the Kuryaken Scythe...)

 

[23hitman]

Who makes the mirrors and which model?

 

[ironman1964]

I got the mirrors from demon cycles. They are called the reaper or grim reaper. They are a less expensive knockoff of the kuryakyn scythe mirrors.

Those mirrors are Demon Cycle are no longer available. Are those the Kury ISO grips that you say were disintegrating? I have those to put on my bike

Love the looks of those grips on your bike.

Avon grips. ISO grips are great. Had them on my last bike.

Thanks. I have matching footpegs as well, just waiting for the adapters so I can put them on.

Hmmm....I was thinking about getting Avon grips......maybe I should just go with Kury's.....

The grips look great!

I'm taking it you don't drag pegs too often? I was going to get the same matching pegs, but with the amount I drag the stock pegs, I'll save the cash.

I don't drag my pegs very often. I am planning on installing the pcs lowering links soon though. Then I will really have to be careful.
