Which Skull Hand Grips
I am looking at adding the skull grips to my bike. Looks like they come in 3 diameters. Is this just the size around or is that for the size of the bars? Stock bars are only 1" I beleive. Thanks for the info.

RE: Which Skull Hand Grips
I had these grips on Reaper for a couple of seasons, and they're really cool looking. However, the metal that goes down the center, would cause me discomfort in my hands, even when wearing gloves. I changed mine out to the Contoured Chrome and Rubber grips and put a set of the Skull End Caps one them.
Here are a couple of pics (sorry bout the blurriness of the closeups):
If you still want the ones you linked to, the diameters listed are inside diameters, and the small ones (1.3") diameter are the ones that fit stock HD bars. Mine are for sale.
Cheers!

I was told by HD that the different sizes are the outer diameter not the inner diameterthat fits on the handle bars that is the same for all three.

They are outter diameter sizes. I got the biggets ones ( I have big hands) and they are great! no hand cramping and very comfortable. I am pretty sure all stock HD's have 1' bars.

It's the outer diameter. Even big diameter bars are sized on the ends for grips to keep the ID the same. You should really goto your dealer and feel each grip size to find the one for you.

RE: Which Skull Hand Grips
I've had the skull grips on my last 2 bikes...I like the biggest size, even tho my hands aren't real big...I like a fat grip, keeps my hands relaxed on long rides...
