Kuryakyn Grips

For whatever reason i am having a little trouble finding the ISO grips with throttle boss for my 1600 nomad--where would be a good place to find them?

Kuryakyn shows them as two part #s, 6250 throttle boss and 6235 for the grips.

Ebay is a good place to find them, there are knockoffs available that look and feel just like the Kury's at a much lower price.

I just bought a knock pair on ebay and the quality is crap... The feel pretty close to the same but would've bought the Kury's had I known the quality difference.

I have a set of the Kury grips (black) with the contour throttle boss. They were used for about 100 miles then replaced with Avons. I just didn't like them. PM me if you want to save some $.

I think Avon grips are better than Kuryakyn's anyway.

The ones I got are just as good as my original one were, You can't tell the difference, Perhaps they have cheapened them up since I got mine.

Yes, the Avon air grips are very nice and they don't seem to get black all over your hands like the Kury ISO grips do.

Seem to be having a little difficulty matching the right # to order the avon air grips with throttle assist I think it may be ----mt-air-90-ch-boss---- can anyone verify this?? or maybe drop the boss part
