I went with the Kinetics also. Very easy to fit. Just take your time. I did the install at the same time as the bar swap so everything was apart and went together with no issues.
I just installed a set of the Harley Aileron on my bike. I had bought them for my 08 Street Glide but never got around to installing them. The throttle side was a breeze just loosen the two screws that hold the switch housing together, slide the grip in and re-tighten. The left (clutch) side was a different story. The Odo/Trip button on top of the left switch housing sticks down into the space where the grip flange fits. I solved the problem by using a dremmel tool to grind a notch in the flange on the grip so that it cleared the bottom of the switch. After I did that everything went back together perfectly.
I purchased 56425-08 Harley grips for my 2015 Street Glide. I had no problem with the right side. I was told that the left side did not need adhesive and the shape of the end would only fit in 1 position in the switch housing. The instructions show the old style housings and the grip will not fit in the housing correctly. I checked the HD web site and it says that these grips will fit on my bike. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have the Get-A-Grip Hand Grips-56100015, and the instruction sheet shows the old style split switch housing. Confusing to say the least. The HD site does say these will work on my bike.
As long as they are throttle by wire you're good to go. Kuryakyn most likely hasn't updated their parts yet...they've had over a year now. Just put Avon's on mine. Easy install, no gluing required, and they're made in the USA.

I'm having the same issue. Left side is not fitting correctly and the instructions are no help.
