So Santa got me a set of Kuryakyn grips (6190). Love that guy.
Anyway, there are 2 parts in the box I do not know what they are for. A 'spacer' with a concave side and what looks like a plug. Both made of aluminum. No instructions in the box.

Anybody know what these are for and where they go?

I cannot figure out how to post a pick.

1" diameter, 3/8" thick with concave on one side and a hole in the centre. Heavy ish like a weight?

Second piece also 1"diameter with a 5/8" ish plug shape. Thinking maybe this fits into throttle tube maybe?

The Kury ISO grips specific for Valkyrie (6190) are 6 1/4" long, rather than the standard 5 3/4" long (like the OE grips).  

The spacers are to be added into the the grips before install so the ends are not unsupported and empty/overly flexible.  (the handlebar controls/MC's/mirrors above the grips cannot be slid further up)

It's been over 10 years since I messed with mine, so I can't remember if the throttle side spacer screws into the end of the throttle sleeve, or it just drops into the grip.

There should be some instructions in the package.

It's also been years since I telephoned Kuryakyn tech support for anything, but they were pretty good when I did.

If you didn't get the throttle side throttle boss, which goes under the end cap with 4 little screws, you should get and add one, it's a nice addition with decent function.  Because the grips are extra long, the boss on the throttle does not interfere with your hand riding normally, but if you want to give the hand a bit of a rest, you can slide it down and rest your palm on the boss.  The grips can be installed, and the boss later, if you want to.

Also, when installing the grips, you want the rubbers to match up in position on both sides, and optimal position is for a row of rubbers under your palm at about 10 o'clock, (and the other row under your finger tips about 4 o'clock).

Optimal position on the throttle boss, if you get one, is also about 10 o'clock, so it is naturally under your palm at about 50-60mph at a quarter to third turn of the throttle.

Thank you Jess. I found some instructions on line. The plug shaped part drops into clutch side grip. I suppose to fill the gap as you mentioned. Nothing about.the second piece with the concave side. Gonna get the throttle.boss.for.sure.

Just got a response from Kuryakyn. Excellent service.

Apparently the concave is not for my application and not needed.

All is good.
Except  its - 25°C here with a foot of snow.

So I'm to install a spacer on the clutch side but not on the throttle side? How can that be?
My bike is in winter storage out of town but going to do some puttering and install the new grips over the weekend.
Anybody recently installed the 6190 Kury's lately?

No spacer needed on throttle side?
Isnt the Kury grip longer than stock?
