Thumbs up New Avon Grips Installed On Fiance's 2007 Dyna Low Rider.

Will after a little reading on here and watching one of the videos recommended by a forum member I installed some Avon Grips on my fiance's 2007 Dyna Low Rider today. There the grips with the throttle boss/rocker on the throttle. Things went well overall. I did have some issue with getting enough slack in the throttle cable farthest from the tank even with it loosened all the way. Also had some trouble with the little brass furrals at the end of the cables but not to bad. I can not try them out thought because there is two feet of snow on the ground here. So I won't know for sure if everything is ok until spring I guess. They look great and feel much better than the stock.

Posted it here because this is where I hang most of the time...hope you don't mind?

Which ones did you go with?

I've used several sets on sport bikes but none on HD's.

I brought this up with the PM rep at the dealer show last weekend. The PM grips now have a lower price which makes them competitive where as they were considerably more at one time. With that said there isn't anything wrong with the Avon's. They offer a decent selection of choices.

Check my Photo album for pictures. When I first installed mine I thought I was gonna have to remove the boss, It took awhile to find a comfortable position for it and get used to it.
