Default Small Diameter Heated Grips?

Hello, I’m looking for some smaller diameter heated grips. I have the standard OEM style that come on my Road Glide Limited and they are a little fat for my liking. Does anyone know if Harley makes a smaller diameter? Thanks

Assuming you are using the stock factory heated grip you are going to be very hard pressed to find anything smaller than 1.5 inches. Bars alone are 1 inch.

Check out H-D contour heated grips they are a little smaller.

On the Harley parts web site they list the diameter of the heated grips. I haven't looked at all of them, but 1.50 inches was the smallest diameter I saw. Some were 1.60 inches.

I've been looking too and these are the smallest HD seems to have. 1.30 inch... the rest are either 1.50, 1.58, and 1.60.

For reference while trying stuff out, if you walk up to a Limited, the basic black heated grips they come with are 1.50.

Thanks, the basic black ones are what I have now. I’m about to do a bar swap and want to find a smaller set so I don’t have to re wire the bars.

Just keep in mind that the HD small heated grips wire externally, not internally like the stock fatties.

I'm looking at these for my 2011 Road King. In reading the what it will, what it won't fit paragraph it seems as though it won't fit Touring bikes with TBW. But if you look at the year matrix it says it does. I'm thinking of getting these, do both sides wire thru the bars or just the right side?
