I installed some Kinetic grips and a throttle boss on mine and it looks and feels way better. The small factory grips were cramping my hand.

With the Biltwell grips that I used, WD-40 and a little pressure they slide on easily and are very well seated.

Just a word of warning, if you're running natural rubber grips, don't use anything more corrosive than WD40. The rubber will disintegrate very quickly.

Such as what?

Carb cleaner for instance. Biltwell told me do not use anything petroleum based. WD-40 is OK.

I've had great luck with hair spray or windex - the former dries a lot quicker though.
Biltwell also recommends using some wire to tighten the grips, which I may do this time around. Got some black Biltwell coming - Love their grips!

Gotcha.
I used WD40 and those things are on there so tight I can't imagine them ever moving so no wire for me.

I've used Biltwell grips on several motorcycles in the past. I've ordered two pair of those for our 60's and will install them when I put the "mini apes" on our bikes.

Biltwell Kungu grips in black are now on my 60

Taking off the original grips was tough - both were glued on - the throttle side was tougher given the flange of the throttle tube.

I installed the Kuryakyn Kinetic grips in black. I think they complement the Scout style nicely. Installation on the clutch side took 5 minutes, most of it to clean up the glue. On the throttle side you have to cut off the original grip and cut/sand off the small ribs. I'll probably add the throttle boss.

I just bought a pair of Kinetic grips...how much larger than the OEM grips are they? Enough to make a didifference? OEM are waaay to small!

They are much larger than OEM. Just the way I like a grip . The OE ones cramp my hand up fast and these do not at all, especially with the throttle boss.

I have changed out stock grips to Biltwell grips...These are the Recoil grips....many choices avaiable and won't break the bank.

 

[Rudy Smith]

I'm looking for grips that are thicker, but still have the Indian vibe. The ability to add a throttle boss down the line would also be nice. Am I asking too much? ; - )

these are by Biltwell. very comfortable and reduced vibes a wee bit. they are installed on my www.Indianmotorcycle.com beach bars - you will see the speedo has a 2" riser block under it made by the beach bar mfgr. @Marcus !

Really like the simplicity of the look. Are they thicker, fatter, more comfortable than the stock grips. I was looking at Kuryakan . The Biltwells are certainly less expensive.

 

[ScoutyD]

I like the diameter and the feel of the grip. Good decision to install them.

I second the recoil grips. Very comfort. And if you don't like them you are OK lyrics out 20 bucks! Can't beat that!

I'd like to get these for my Scout. Which size I need? Do I need anything else apart from the grips?
Thanks in advance.

Why is needed that halo rubber on the throttle grip? I don't see it on the Recoil grips and I precisely like the look with nothing else. Isn't possible?
