yeah because apparently my HD dealer shop doesn't want to put on any handlebars or grips made by another company even if I bring them in and pay them a lot of money to do it, cuz I don't have any tools or skills. that tells me HD basically wants you to leave their product alone especially when it's under warranty.

If an HD dealer won't install parts for you, go to an independent mechanic and have it done. And if you're interested in learning, and not really a troll, then buy the shop manual. It has directions to tear the entire bike down and put it back together. Good luck.

Why do I keep feeding the troll? Is there a way to lock myself out of this thread?

Unless your kids get their toys at christmas as a pile of parts, you can wrench on your own bike. Its not THAT hard (short of engine work)...if you can read, fairly educated, and follow instructions, you can do it.

No my skin isn't thin, but it looks like some in here might have hurt feelings. I was actually planning on putting different handlebars, grips and probably highway pegs on my bike (for comfort). That's why I asked the QUESTION. I didn't want my bike to appear ghetto to other traditional H-D people. I think some of you might be being a little hypocritical in your comments to me though. I think everyone has their own idea of what level of modification looks ghetto in both bikes and cars. There could be a bike on the cover of EASYRIDER, that you might say to yourself, you would never own such a bike because it doesn't even look like a H=D, and looks too GHETTO! just sayin.......
