Default Specialty Grips?

Grips, grips everywhere. But I never see a set with an open end for the Schrader valve on the clutch side. Do you just purchase what you like and drill out the end?

the air front end went away long ago...

You may want to ask in the evo forum

For whatever reason the stock HD grips are the only ones that do not aggravate my arthritis so I don't even look at the aftermarket.

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish but I have Willie G grips and they have a cap on the ends that can be popped off. Certainly any of their custom types are the same.

'd be happy with orginal OEM grips that allow for the valve. Mine are just worn and need replacing.

Harley nostalgic grips have a hole in the ends. Very comfy also.
