Thumper, Iso's are made by Kuryakyn but you can usually pick them up at your local bike shop and some Harley houses have them. Depending on your bike, they may or may not have the throttle rocker but I'd get it.
They are easy to install. Took about 10 minutes on the Intruder. On the left grip which is glued in place, make sure you have it lined up correctly and that you've test fitted it when you get ready to install it. Once you put it on with the glue, it's there for good. What ever you do, don't push is up half way then stop. On the right grip, loosen the throttle cables at the adjusting nuts just below the switch housing before removing the old grips or installing the new ones. It makes it a ton easier.
Install the right grip first then use its position to line it the left grip so the cushions on the grips are in the same place. Sorry, I'm **** that way.
My wife bought me a set of these w/ the throttle rocker for my birthday. Had them put on with new Buckhorn bars. I love them. The way they look, the way they feel and everything about them. They are just great. Art
about the throttle rocker - someone gave me one that they didn't like. I put it on my throttle but maybe I am putting it on incorrectly? Is the rocker suppose to be used all the time instead of the twisting motion or is it primarily for those stretches of road when you are in fifth and just have to keep it going?
The one on the Kuryakin ISO grips is a little more user friendly than the add-on why that you buy. You have a little more grip to use without touching it if you don't want to, but my heel usually rests on mine. In fact, after I had my new bars and grips put on, I adjusted the bars a little and forgot to adjust the throttle rocker, took off around a corner, shifted by just releasing my fingers, and didn't realize that my hel was keeping the throttle rocker and throttle rolled on. Found out in a hurry that the new scoot has really good pick-up and that I don't ever have to be afraid of not being able to get up to speed quickly enough when I'm on an on-ramp or merging.
It takes just a little bit of getting used to, but if you're like many of us, who because of age or arthritis, our hands tend to get numb or ache after a while, it really helps to be able to stretch out those fingers and wiggle them a little to ease the pain or get feeling back in them. Art
