Seriously, I paid $15 for these grips and they look and feel AMAZING, not flimsy, heavy and solid...

You sold me. I just ordered a set for my '06 Nomad.

Wow, good price. Is the LED headlight just a plug in as stock replacement?

Yep, take out the old one, plug in the new one. Took me a while cause I removed the metal clip completely, hint- you don't need to. If I installed a 2nd one it would take me under 5 minutes now that I understand that stupid clip.

I'd get the LED bulb but it's $45 in Canudistan, go figure. Should be $28 with the current exchange rate. Bend over Canada, damn, didn't even get kissed.......Mike

Is the LED beam much of an improvement.Or is it just a brighter light.

I'm in Canada, I use myusaddress.ca for these things... It's about a 1.5 hour drive for me.

"It's about a 1.5 hour drive for me"

That would knock the arse right out of the $17 savings.

But if you get to do it on the bike, its a great trade off.

Good reason for a ride.

Got the grips 5/1. Very, very nice for $15.00. No wonder the Chinese are eating out lunch. I don't care much for the pointed end caps....gonna see if the old caps will fit.

Tortuga · 05-02-2017, 05:29 PM

Nope, the old caps won't work on the throttle side with the palm piece in place.
Oh, well, life will just have to struggle on with the silly "dunce cap" end pieces.

I kinda like the spikes at the ends, looks badass
