i have break away cruise control on my honda vtx 1800. Are the Kuryakyn grips going to be a problem to install?

From what I understand you have to slide it on the grips before you install them on the bike. I think the rubber can separate from the grip allowing install. but once on I don't think you can install the break away. Hope that helps

I have the same situation. Mine mounted inside the hand controls and still had pleanty of coverage to block wind from the grips. They have a spacer included to give you an extra inch of outward spacing. I was very happy with them. They look factory. Note you have to buy the bracket and the shields separate.

They fit perfectly. I have them on mine together with my Kuryakyn iso-grips with throtle boss.

I have an 03 Harley and with a Kuryakyn hitch. While driving the frame on the hitch broke allowing my trailer to and lower hitch to break away. I will send along pictures if you want. I have not contacted Kuryakyn about the incident and what they plan to do about it but will keep you informed. Choose your hitch carefully, it could cost you your life.

You may have to make spacers to go between the bike and the brackets, in addition to moving one set of the holes. This is what I had to do to mount it on a 2008 VTX1800

Absolutely, they will right them selves when you throttle up. You want them loose, they brake far less because the are free floating to some degree. If your going to crash throttle all the down quick just another trick from experience.

You will probably need spacers or a stack of washers if the mounts are like a 07 vtx

I believe yes because it attaches to the existing four holes and screws onto your standard Kuryakin grips. They do come with four slitghly longer bolts to compensate the added space. By the way, its a nice piece and very comfortable.

Yes, but they have to be Kury end weights. If you are running a Vstar, like me, the stock weights won't work. I, however, didn't put any weights on them and they feel great. These are quite a bit heavier than the stock grips and feel really nice.

I have an '03 VTX1800R and they are fantastic. As far as I know, both years have 1" bars, so you should be good.

A little bit of fitting will be required on both grip panels. Take your time, no big deal.

I have my on my 2004 Suzuki and all I did is push on the handle bar grip it is a tight fit and that keeps it from sliding around. If you think you are going to fast all you need to do is slide it around to a position the you feel comfortable with it. Only a couple of seconds and you are back in business, It really save wear on you thumb as your palm does the work. It almost acts like curies(sp) control. I am on my 4th year with mine. Hope this info is a help. Have a Merry Christmas and A New Year. Happy riding, I won't be riding now until late March as we are to receive up to 14" of snow today, snowing now as I answer your question.

Not sure about the throttle control. I was not able to use them at all. They get too tight about an inch from being all the way on. They also fall apart easy. When sliding them on the handle bars the rubber pieces would pop out. Bought the kuryakyn 6235. Twice the price but not problems

I had the manufacturers instructions how to remove old grip and the new grip was easy to install. Regarding latex, you will have to check with Pachmayr.

There is a list of fitments on the same page where they sell the deflectors and the mounting hardware. I installed them (myself) on my 2005 Honda VTX1300R and it was easy. If your bike is not on the list they probably won't fit; however, check some other venues to see if they carry something that would work on your bike. I'm very happy I got them!

Yes. Remove old grips, clean bars, remove backing, and adhere. Reinstall grips, run power, etc.
