sure. if they're a little lose, spray em with AquaNet (hairspray) and they'll stick pretty good.

if they're a little tight, use a hair dryer inside, spray with Aquanet again, and they'll slide on easy cheese.

if you're worried about vibrations, just get some cheap $9 foam grips, and pour lead shot into your bars. zero vibrations afterwards :) http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=41264.0

Grips are made in three sizes 7/8 which is what the gs takes and most other bikes. 1 inch which is what bigger cruisers and harley's have and 1 1/8 which is on some of you bigger dirt bikes. so basically anything that is 7/8 will fit. I bought atv grips for mine the only thing was they werent open for bar ends so I have to cut them but they look great and feel nice too.
