I picked up a used set of Honda Shadow handlebars that are more to my liking, as far as the angle goes. Of course, as most of you know, one change brings others with it sometimes. The rise is a bit less, so Harley Deuce risers will likely be installed along with them. As for the grips, I need a little help. I currently have Kuryakyn Iso Grips, which are worn enough to not even attempt to remove/re-use. I really like the grips that I've seen linked here a time or two that are from http://www.coolsac.com/, and I especially like the integrated throttle lock that is available with them. I know the grips are pretty fat, but I'm a big guy, so I don't think that will be a problem. I would probably miss the throttle boos on the isogrips, but the throttle lock would probably take care of that problem, too. The actual problem is that I can't find anyone that actually has them, much less the ones with the throttle lock. I may go with the Kury flame grips, since I saw someone here posted a pic of them and they weren't bad. The Iso Grips are the easy choice, but everyone has or had them. That definitely says that they're pretty good, but change would be good as well. Kury has some newer grip styles, too, that I may look at. Too many choices out there. |

I had not seen those SAC grips before. Those look really nice. Wish I had seen them before buying the ISO grips throttle boss and MADCO throttle lock. Most of the web page looks dated. Might be worth calling them to see where t hey can be bought.

How well did the supplied "throttle cams" work with the Valkyrie's housing and cables? |

I have the coolsac grips on both of my 97's and I love them, they are fat but I find that I don't grip them as hard and I do the thinner grips. I do not have the throttle lock but I do have a throttle boss and that works great for me.
Then 2 things I love about the coolsac is first they are the most comfortable grips I have ever rode with and second there are different, it seem that everyone has ISO grips.

Picture I'm curious about the blue wire going to your clutch switch. A replacement for a broken wire ? |
