Yes, it's the clutch side. No, I'm not willing to ream or drill out the bar after forking out the $$$ for something that was suppose to be plug and play. I'm looking for someone who already has done the leg work and I won't have to screw up the chrome on a set of bars. I'm about .140" shy of being done and that would leave a pretty thin wall on the bars.

not that it matters but .140÷2=.070-standard 1" bars=every other bar your going get that the heated grips will fit...maybe you should just **** in one hand and take the bars off with the other...

Thought a persepective shot might be helpful for people deciding.

I'm 6' 4". These are 12"

Pretty sure they're Yaffe but they were already on the bike when I got it so I'm not 100% sure on the brand.

Thanks man. I like these bars 10 times more than my vindiktas, that's for sure. Can't wait to get some seat time with them. I just did a c&c solo with backrest and I fit perfect on setup. Very anxious to get out and ride!

Thumbs up Kuryakyn heated grip trims rings

I just did the Yaffe 10" Monkey Bagger Bars in black. All through the planning and the project, I considered replacing the heated grips just for appearance sake but couldn't part with the $250 or so.

Googling around the other day I discovered these Kuryakyn trim rings in chrome. I thought to myself, "I wish they made those in black and they were cheaper." Low and behold I found the black ones discontinued on J&P Cycles for $9.99!

I think they dressed up the stock grips just enough to look cool on my black bars now.



$9.99 upgrade!
