Default Help identifying hand grips

The attached picture shows the grips that came on my 2005 RK and you'll notice that they are square.

I've looked and can't seem to identify what brand these are. Don't look like OEM.

I'm a little concerned that if I try and install some sort of throttle lock or cramp buster that it will not fit tight due to the square shape.

Anyone ever seen these before?

I have never seen that style before, but would love to hear what they turn out to be. Can't answer your question but am interested in any responses you get.

What I can tell you about most style of cramp busters, is in my experience, they suck on chrome grips. And want to slip. But that's just my experience.

I have those same grips on my 04 road glide and know three things about them.

1, they are an OEM HD grip.
2, they were cable only never TBW
3, I can't find them on the Web but they had a funny name like x 2

I have been looking to replace mine as they are becoming worn. At the time I bought them, they were the only grip that resembled the streamliner collection.
