How to Install Kuryakyn ISO Grips
Kuryakyn ISO grips combine function and form. These bicycle handlebar grips replace the stock grips with a product that alleviates the "dead hand" or "tired hand" sensation bikers feel after a long ride. Installation of these grips requires few tools and a removal of the old factory grips.
Kuryakyn ISO grips are sold in a wide range of styles. Kuryakyn also manufactures accessories for their ISO grips. Accessories include colored rings, decorative endcaps and grip warmers.
