I like mine, feels right, it also depends on gloves you wear, if gloves are wrong size or fit they may make grips feel too big or too small.

I suggest to try them at your dealership if they offer that option. If you looking for just regular Kahuna grips (non heated) I have them laying around, they are in a perfect condition

Nice! I went with the Empire all black heated grips. I'm watching your progress on putting things back together. Did the dealer do a good job pulling all the wires?

wires look ok, hope everything works, I fit the bars last night, need to extend one harness and make a harness for the grips (planning to use molex connector on the left side). Solder iron time tonight!

Looking good! Definitely better than before Why didn't you get an extension from somewhere like Fat Baggers Inc or somewhere else like here: https://www.denniskirk.com/kst-kusto...rd/2102836.sku
Pretty cheap, but then, nothing's cheaper than doing it yourself

I’ve got a wire extension, but that particular harness is a custom one that Custom Dynamics made for me in order to make the lower fairing inserts work. Not sure why, but it’s too short now. Anyways, both harnesses are done. Hopefully I’ll put it all back together before we leave for Florida tomorrow night

16”, that’s the reason I had to mess with the hydraulic lines…

Installed the Kahuna intake trim this morning. It's cool that it covers the mounting bolt for the intake cover. Now I'm just waiting for the Kahuna grips that Mr. Oscar is sending me and that will complete the bike.
