May wanna check the length as the XS grips or replacements ARE shorter than for newer scoots.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

If they look like what you want then go for it. Every ride I have has thicker grips be they Kuryakin's or Yamaha brand. Makes the clutch harder to adjust but the ride is way more comfortable. The ones I buy are regularily 80 bucks or so and I am happy to pay it. Do what you want and will like!2-79 XS1100 SF

As any replacement grips are usually longer I use that opportunity to use spacers or washers to act as bar end weights that also change the vibrations that you end up with. It means that I do not get the usual hand goes to sleep on a long ride. YMMV
