Kuryakyn ISO-Grips with throttle boss Questions!!!!!
« on: October 19, 2018, 06:56:59 PM »
I am looking at putting on some Kuryakyn ISO grips on but it doesn't look like they make a model specific for the 08 Kawasaki Concours I am in possession of. I've seen others on here with the grips, and I am looking for info on which model they have. I see that Kuryakyn makes a 7/8" universal fit & a 1" universal fit. Which one would I need??

Speaking generally here (with zero experience with Kuryakyn products), 1" is HD bars, 7/8" is everything else?

It says on the kuryakyn that it doesn’t fit oem grips that are longer than 4-5/8”. I’m measuring mine at 5”, am I just measuring front the wrong point? Because I’ve seen others with these grips, but I don’t want to cut or modify if I don’t have to.

Sorry man.  I don’t know the answer to that.  Have you tried their live chat from the website?  Can’t hurt to ask.
