The pin hole on my grips is a lot farther down, at the bottom rear corner. Model is 3914. The picture shows the hole a lot higher. What gives?

I asked the same question to smith and wesson support since that was the grip they sold on their website for my gun. Luckily their customer support sucks and 2 days after I received it through Amazon and installed it they emailed me saying it couldn't be used for my gun. The grip comes with a piece that the pin holds in place and has a spot for the grip to screw into that so the original grip on the gun looks like a different pin and screw position then the Hogue grip, but it works. Rubber grip helps with shooting the gun since it is a smaller lighter. Gun and the rubber helps keep it stable. The pin is a little difficult to get in place but if you tap it in with a small hammer and pin set it fits. I had to file down the piece that the new grip screws into (plastic) to fit into gun handle properly but I just used the file on a leatherman combo tool

I was asked to answer this question by amazon. The pin hole on the factory grips is lower than the Hogue grips. If I remember correctly, part of the grips includes an adapter to give proper alignment. This piece sometimes require minor filing, which I did with a pocket knife as the seam was a tad elevated. Took 10 minutes to install (including filing time and stock grip removal). Changes the feel of the gun, and I would put this on again! Best of luck!

The grips are not open on the end, however I needed to add a mirror and needed holes in the ends. I used a hole saw and created the perfict hole. You need to make the hole smaller than the handle bar so the grips will no slide up the handle bar but large enough for the bar ends to fit into the handlebar. Hole saws come in many sizes and look in the harbor freight or your local hardware store. Hope this helps as I love my grips.

Not sure. I replaced original plastic black grips and the wood grips were about the same size and a whole lot prettier.

I'm no expert, and if the information is extremely critical you might want to verify with the mfg, but I did look at mine and it APPEARS TO ME to V out slightly. It appears to be slightly wider at the opening vs at the shaft area, but only slightly ... more like a rounded V than a perfect U. Hope this helps.

I do not have that model. My handle arm is a solid piece of metal. Yours may have a screw that needs tightening

What is the bar ID? Is it compatible with the size of the levers? Like someone else had previously responded, you tighten the levers by removing the rubber cap and using an allen key. If you have tightened this all the way already, then your bars are simply too big for these. If you tighten them and the fit is close but still slightly loose, you could probably rig something since the mechanism is simply an expander shiv; maybe you could wrap something around that to give you a little extra leverage.

I'm not sure, but the secret to using these pins is to push them into the top of your box spring - not the side. I've had mine for years and never had a problem.

This grip is slightly fatter/wider than the plastic oem s&w; grip I removed from my 6906. Hope that helps.

I am not sure, mine were for a smaller model....however, these grips are very nice quality.

Unless my saw if different, the holes do NOT line up side to side....the front holes are exactly 14 inches apart whereas the rear are 16 inches, therefore do NOT fit my table like my old one did, but yes, same front to back. What's up with that??

I have to modify it////it was not direct fit....I used the old holder and the new sliders and drilled new holestry to find exact fit....or expect to modify it...good luck

Pretty sure it will, but before you drop $400, you might email or call the folks at Crimson Trace and confirm. If it fits, you won't be sorry you bought it. The grips look better in person than they do here. Really nice product.

I didn't change a thing. Removed stock grips and installed new ones. Took about 5 minutes. Pistol works the same. The Hogue grips are awesome!

Mine went on a 2000 vulcan. No the holes weren't there. I also used longer grips due to the fact that the locating holes for the turn signal housings were in a slightly different location. Or you can drill new holes.

One set of grooves is wide, and the other is tight. Try the tighter one. I have not noticed any degradation in grip performance. I'm fact, the tight groove is still VERY tight.

I tried to measure the "post" diameter, but I could not get to it from underneath and the saddle itself is attached with some sort of #3 Hex Cap that I could not seem to remove (like it is attached with red loctite?) The outer diameter of this hex-cap is 1.258", so the hole under that must be smaller (and apparently "threaded"? I will try to post some photos in a review momentarily.
