Trigger brake and clutch levers are nice units. ISO grips are ok. You can pretty much have the rest.

I personally have never had any kuryakyn stuff on the 7 Harleys that I've owned. I have to say they sell a boatload of those UGLY ISO grips.

Kuryakyn = All hat and no cattle


I have had products that performed well, LED taillight and equalizer but the catalog does not appeal to me, as it is too glitzy for my tastes.

LOL. I remember that piece.

I agree with Johnny Wolf--That is the ONLY Kury piece I have, and only 'cause no one else makes it.

Actually, I bought it a few months ago & still haven't installed it. Get around to it one day.

There was a article in one of the cycle mags that Harley subs a lot of their after market chrome parts to Kury - there is also a thread on the forum about it – Kury is owned by a very large company that builds lot’s of motorcycle accessories under many different names - – so you might own Kury & don’t know it – but what you don’t know won’t hurt you -
