Design and Construction
The Klassic grips use a seamless rubber molding process that eliminates the parting lines found on many stock grips, providing a smooth, comfortable feel. The diamond pattern offers a secure grip without being overly aggressive, and the custom contour shape fills the hand naturally. Billet aluminum end caps and collars add a premium, machined look and resist corrosion. The closed-end design keeps out dirt and moisture, and the no-flange profile suits riders who prefer a clean, uninterrupted grip surface.
Vehicle Fitment and Compatibility
These grips are engineered for 2008–2024 Harley-Davidson Touring models (including Electra Glide, Road Glide, Street Glide, and Tri Glide) and Softail models (such as Fat Boy, Low Rider S, Softail Standard, and Breakout) that use throttle-by-wire and 1-inch handlebars. They are not compatible with 2023–2024 FLHX/FLTRX models or 2024 Touring models that may have different TBW sensors. Always verify your bike’s handlebar diameter and TBW system before installation.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools. The grips slide onto the 1-inch bars and are secured by the throttle tube on the right side and by the left grip’s internal sleeve. No glue or adhesive is required for most applications, though some riders use a light application of grip glue to prevent rotation. The billet aluminum collars are tightened with a hex key. Ensure the throttle tube rotates freely after installation and that the left grip is fully seated.
Performance and Comfort
The custom contour shape reduces hand fatigue on long rides by distributing pressure more evenly across the palm. The diamond pattern provides a positive grip even with gloves, while the seamless rubber minimizes vibration transfer. Riders upgrading from stock grips often report improved control and a more premium feel. The closed ends also help keep hands warmer in cooler weather by blocking airflow through the handlebar.
