Anyone know of a good place to order grips that will fit the GS?
I ordered some from Ebay and they were too long and also they don't fit the throttle correctly.
I need some that will fit the throttle sleeve
www.busters-online.co.uk but it's a long way from Ohio to Wales.
Would it be easier jsut to get a new throttle sleeve?
most of them should fit the throttle tube, just make sure to buy motorcycle grips. also, make sure you buy open-ended ones. made that mistake before.
From what i've read through searching here, lots of people dremel the flange off the throttle sleeve. I haven't been able to find grips yet that accomodate that flange except stock replacement.

Why open end? Sorry for the thread resurrection lol. looking to purchase some grips.
Anyone know if pro grips fit fine?
pro grips fit great I ran a set of gel on my gs.
open end so you can run your barend weights
Just went through this myself. Ended up grinding off about 10mm from the end of the throttle side (Progrip gels) and the small ridge on the throttle tube to make them fit. Used golf grip tape to install. Works fine but more effort than I planned on.
