Default Upgrades

Yesterday I changed the grips, pegs and installed chrome switch housings to my bike. The project took a little longer than I expected, the shop manual was a life saver. The haredest thing of the whole project was getting the small clips back on the throttle and idle cables to keep them in the switch housing, these alone probably took over and hour. I really like the look it gives the bike.

Looks good. Are those the Kuryakyn Pilot grips?

Looks good. Yeah, what kind are they. Also what difference, if any, do you notice in vibration?

The grips are from Harley, they are part of the Stealth collection. I also did the pegs and the shift lever too in the same collection. The vibration is not any noticable on these than the stock ones.
