question on harley grips
i just replaced my stock grips on my 08 roadglide with the harley flame grips, all went well but now i have alot of play in the grip where it goes into the switch housing, like up down sideways move ment, yhe throttle works a lot easyer now and does not seem to pull out from the housing. anyone have any thoughts on if there should be a problem with them or if this is just normal for these grips

Make sure that the grips are in the proper position on the bars. \\; When you change these it is important to have tight against the bar ends, and in the proper orientaion in the clamps.

RE: question on harley grips
When you installed the grips, make sure that the switch housing did not creep closer to the end of the handlebar. When I installed my grips, it did that and the grips felt loose and sloppy. I loosened the switch housing clamps, pushed them back up the bars a little, retightened, and all was well.
