Does the left hand grip glue on? Since it seems to be metal, if it's glued on, how do you get it off if you need to?

No glue on the PM left grip, it has two recessed allen set screws. I've had mine on/off a few times, no problem.

I just put the renthal covered grips on recently. I really like them. You can get them for around 90 bucks from all kinds of dealers.

I have PM Renthals and I love them also. A little sticky at first compared to HD grips, but once I got used to them(few rides)...... I'll not likely change. Have had them on for 20k miles now and...... Tops!

They were all black and looked pretty good until I looked at the price. $139.00! That's over twice what the Harley grips cost. Are they worth twice as much?

I have the Harley Nostalgic grips and took off some Kury ISO's that were glued..... What a pain to take off

Anyways The Nostalgic Grips are OK wish they were softer Kinda like a Hard Rubber Plastic feel

If I had to do it over again I would prob get the PM grips or checked out the Avon as well

No more glue for me lol
