Thank you all for the help on this.I purchased a pair of Arlen Ness that I believe have the flange.
I was worried about having 2 cables to adjust and the brake lever info is going to be a big help. Many thanks...

Well, I am returning the grips. I am going to try and find grips that have the HD clutch side cut for the housing so I do not have to use glue.If I can find a pair that have a screw clamp I would do that also.

I would suggest having 1 or 2 extra brass ferrules that hold the cables in the grip on hand , they are very easy to drop and lose!

Hairspray (or aerosol paint) works very well when installing grips.

Thanks for all the help on this. Installed some $20 E-Bay billet grips and I love them so far. So far so good on the install. They had the cut out for the clutch grip so no adhesive needed ! I believe I have the throttle adjusted nice as well. Tight with just a tad slack and the cruise functions great.

Only weird thing is that the grips are threaded on both ends so I had to make sure they were nice and tight. I may go back and add some blue thread lock.

I did not think it would be so easy. Thank you guys !
