I have them on one of my bikes and really like them. The throttle boss allows you to relax your grip and still maintain throttle control.

RE: Kuryakyn grips with throttle boss
hell yeah, they are great grips! I love mine - reduces those pesky vibratons quite a bit. And they are cushioned so they are easy on my old wrinkled soft hands. I don't use the boss but it is nice to have it there (after you get used to it and stop catching it with your glove). Easy to install to. Make sure you get the Iso grips.

RE: Kuryakyn grips with throttle boss
I installed them on my VTX-1800 C and were a real treat to ride. Best was the throttle boss, just by leaning your wrist a little, you could wiggle your fingers and relax your hand big time. Still, I was not happy with the thought of all that sweat, dirt and crap that can get between the rubber and the grip itself; added to that, when I washed the bike I had water seeping from the grips for a long part of the ride; I recommend whoever has those grips, to cover them with a plastic bag when washing the bike.

RE: Kuryakyn grips with throttle boss
I lovedthe Iso-grips on my last bike but be warned, if you have small hands they increase the reach to the brake lever becausethey arelarger indiameter than stock grips.

RE: Kuryakyn grips with throttle boss
I have had mine for several months now. Did about 1000 miles in three days, and the grips are a huge improvement over the stock grips. I put the switchblade pegs on and it looks great.
