That is true for the '08 and later throttle-by-wire bikes.
I have them on my '11 Street Glide, and really like them.

 

I had them on my bike for about 2 weeks. They felt good to the touch but my hands were getting numb after a long ride. Switched to PM, no more tingling.

 

RollaMo, I really like the looks of your grips. You wouldn't have the part # would you? I'd like to put them on my 09 classic.

i have the magnum diameter, in black on my 07.. love these grips.. my hands are in the best shape being i over use my hands alot where i work. these oversized grips work great for me

 

I have them on my wife's Deluxe and recently ordered a set for my bike...

 

I have a lot of sloppy side to side with my get a grips on my 17 SGS. Anything to help with these being on wo578 bars.

 

Depends on what you think "a lot" is. There should be some play in the grip or it won't turn. You can adjust the hand controls farther in on the bar to take up some slack...just make sure it not to far as to hamper the free rotation of the grip.

On a side note I "HAD" get a grips on both my bikes. Loved them at first, but after time they became junk. The rubber worn (non replaceable), the end caps started pulling off, and they started to turn purple.

The similar Avon grip is a better choice.... The rubber is replaceable and the end caps are screwed on not glued.

 

I am on my second set of Magnums (I have big hands.) 50,000 miles on them and I love them.

 

sometimes the dealer is actually not a stealer...


ps I had them until I got heated grips - they felt great
