07 Nomad handle bar grips

cocheese72 · 09-14-2010, 09:23 PM

I have some ISO grips with helmet locks. I am not a fan. I am looking for some cheap replacements, something simple. Just black rubber grips, like the 900 or the OEM grips. Should any 1" grips work. Will I need a new throttle sleeve? The clutch side will slip off fairly easy but the throttle side is not moving too easy. Not sure if that will slide off throttle sleeve, or if I just need a new one.

If I cannot find anything better, I am looking for something like this:

Any issues with these on a Nomad?

The ones you linked to should work in my opinion. They have the throtle sleeve which you will need to do a decent job.
I bought some $15 grips without the sleeve for my Drifter. I thought I could cut off the right grip and simply slip the new one on. Wrong, it looked like crap.
Soooooooo, yes get a set with the sleeve.

I would also reccomend a new sleeve.

Have not had that throttle assembly apart, but will most sleeves work made for 1". I thought HD's were different so want to make sure the one I get will easily tie into what the Nomad has.

Some of the new HDs are fly by wire if I remember correctly. I don't know how they work but would assume they are different.
The one you linked to will work on the Nomad.
