Grip ?

I had a vista cruise and the kuryakyn grips. I had to modify the vista cruise. I believe Gadget's site has the instructions to do this. I will say the Kury grips didn't improve the numbness problem, but were instead a cosmetic improvement. Barsnake makes a product to dampen vibration...

I don't know about 1600's but on my 1500 you couldn't get a BarSnake in there. There are bar-end weights welded into the bars.
