Default Which Grips for Apes
Hey everyone.. I'm looking into changing my grips out. I have Flanders Apes (1 1/4 diameter) with HD Aileron grips. I would like to get the the new black ISO grips, but I've been told they wont fit. Can you all confirm this?
If so, which others may I be able to go with?

Thanks in advance

J

Why wouldn't they fit? Just because they are 1 1/4 bars, the grip area is smaller and standard size.

the only ones ive heard of with fitment problems is avon gripps,they are a bit shorter and may leave a gap right were the bar diameter changes.

I like the PM Renthals. They feel pretty good even on long trips.
