    Nate, on a bike I plan to keep and use for years, I'd say I probably would pony up for those grips! Cause I like the way they are all sparkly and stuff!!

    But to be honest, I am sure I would have tried something cheaper first and found I did not like the look or feel of it, just because if you look up cheapazz in websters, you will find my photo as the definition. SWMBO forced me to take the family to see the "Christmas Carol" play at the local theatre. When I saw what we paid for the tickets, I told her we can rent the movie next time and have enough money to buy some nice XS11 parts left over. Yeah I get the irony of that...bahh humbug!!
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

          I have the Kuryakyns on every bike I ride, and going on every one I am working on! i think they are hands down the best grip I have used. More bucks yes but well worth every penny. Cheapazz maybe but not when it comes to these.

            only $70 thats cheap up here

            Hey I got teh Kuryakyns on mine - with the stellito ends even - worked out in Ontario Cda to close to $200 cdn when done with taxes & shipping etc. Oh I also got the 'gold' rings in them to match the gold on the bike, so reason price is high. Hey had them for 3 yrs & no complaints, they are actually warmer in the cold weather which suprized me compared to the gel-type mikesxs ones I had on there. I think its due to the thicker rubber. Hey so for $70.00 thats a minor to me - if that's what you want, got my bars so low that the ends "just" miss the tank when parked. Feels great & looks awesome, worth every penny - Dan
