Anybody using these? My questions are 'does the throttle side have scratches from twisting the throttle all the time? How bad does it look?'

 

if you have black bars, it will scratch them and it looks really bad. a friend of mine had them on chromes bars and it did not seem to be a problem. I took mine off due to damage done to my black bars.

 

Exactly what I feared. Thanks for the input, I'll be staying with my grips.

 

Hello Guys

The gips should not scratch the bars if the roller bearing kit that comes with the grips is fitted. The idea behind it was to allow clearance between the grip and the bar as well as support the end of the grip. An issue could be caused if the powder coat on the bar has too much build up.

 

I agree.

Mine do not scratch my bars at all, because they never really come into contact with the bars where the grip holes are located. They rotate on the roller bearing that is provided. Pretty neat little idea, and it works. My bars look just as good as the day that I installed them, and been using the Batt. grips the whole time.
