Killer. It gives me an idea of what the bars look like without switch housings. I like it! I think my 1.5" bars might look kinda funny as they are stepped dow2n to 1" for the grips and housings. Gonna have to think about this now.

Measure your grips before you drop the idea, Drew. I bet they are 1.5" dia outside or damn near! If you got some mirrors like Jim has, it'd look fine even if the grips were smaller dia. Or, you can have some short beaveled collars made to reduce the dia from 1.5 to size of grips or smaller. Too many options out there.......

I know. I am going to have disassemble some stuff to see how it will look. Just so you guys know, Dr. V-twin is a dealer for Grip Ace now as well.

this looks interesting....

? drew - could you shorten the grip ends of the bars since you wouldn't need the extra space ?
... also nice to know you're a dealer now.

I just spoke with grip ace regarding their product and am hoping to be getting a set and isntalling them on my ride. Money is tight so I have no idea when but I am going to go and see a bike that has these on it and take some pics and possibly a video in order to better explain the functions, install etc. PM me for pricing pelase or email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM

This product has been around for years! I'm really surprised there are so few using them. Must've been more of a sport bike thing till now. Here's a better video, but it's a lot more difficult to pay attention to the product!
