Have the 12.5 Wild 1 chubby's in black on mine. They are pushed to the fairing. They also sit about 2" above the fairing. They are an 1 1/2" and will accept heated grips. With your hands above the fairing consider that option.
if they had a pointed edge, i probably would consider those. i'm just not into the curvy bars. being above the fairing really isn't a problem for me. i've been riding for years without a fairing (this is my first bike with one) so, i doubt i would even use the heated grips anyway.
Why are you guys cutting grips off? My willie G's come off as soon as the control button housings are split, and those are what lock them in place. Unless the kury stuff doesn't lock in like that, but I thought only the stock left grip glues on.

Yep left side gets glued on. Wonder if they sell just the lefty one lol.
got my bars in yesterday, namz extensions should be here today, and grips should be here friday. break down start saturday afternoon. can't f@#$ing wait.
So, no matter what I try, I cant get the right side of the bars wired internally.
Mostly because the connectors for the TWB assembly wish to reside right in the "peak" of the bars.
If I have the control harness inside the bar, I cant get the TBW harness to push back down once I connect the TBW assembly.
If I do it without the control harness installed, I can get the TBW assembly seated, but then cannot get the control harness back through.
WTF
My only suggestion would be to buy the new throttle assembly from Harley. It doesn't have the green plug. I can see where that peak would be hard to work around with the green plug.
