Well, got my traction grips installed today. I was a little surprised at how easy it was! Here is the before and after shot of the left grip.
![Before and After - Grips](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/357917.jpg) Haven't ridden it yet with them on. Gonna give them a good amount of time for the glue to setup. From just sitting on the bike though, I can tell already that I'm going to love them ![: )](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/happy.gif) |

The most comfortable grips I've tried on my Buell. I've tried several. |

Got them, love 'em, cut out the ends to fit my Dark Horse Moto barends and called it good. The stockers are just to thin and small. |

Put these on 2 weeks ago. Big improvement over the stockers. |

if you two finger the clutch for wheelies, does the larger grip interfere? |

I will take a shot of the throttle/front brake side for ya this evening and post it up. I know mine has maybe 1/10th of an inch gap. Seems normal since the grip is attached to the throttle tube, and it needs room to twist without too much friction. |

Thanks. Mine has a 1/4 inch gap. I know a small gap is normal, but I could stick an ink pen in mine..... I had traction grips on my Blast and they weren't like that.... I guess the factory set the grip wrong on the throttle side? Dang.... duped again! |
