Default 2008 grips

For those looking to install new grips on an 08 - installed new grips (HD Contoured Chrome and Rubber Custom Hand Grips) on my 2008 Ultra Classic - Anniversary Edition. Was easier than I thought - right side grip came off with a gentle pull.

Yup sure does. I adapted a set of Juryakyn ISO grips for my 08. Anyone can cut the rubber off the stock throttle grip and use it as a sleeve

Replaced my 08 grips afew months ago. Left side stock came off pretty hard. Did not want to cut them off as the directions said you could. New ones went on no problem.

I am having those exact Grips put on my Road King before I take delivery... how do they look???

I also ordered the NOSTALGIC COLLECTION (Rider and Passenger Floor Board Inserts, Heel-Toe Shifter Pegs, and Brake Pedal Cover) and the SLOTTED CHROME AND RUBBER HWY PEGSwhich I am gonna be installing myself...

Think they will alllook good together???
