I would guess it would work as long as you have a throttle sleeve to use. If they have a shop you can walk in I could go by and compare these to the original if you want. I will be on that street tomorrow.

They'll fit your 1" bars but will be too short. Most Honda grips are 5 1/2 inches...you'll have the white plastic throttle housing hanging out :lipsrseal

The usual answer from a woman, too small. :lipsrseal
Don't let it stop you Sinister, it's not the size of your grips it's what you can do with them! :thumbsup:

Sin,
You can trim the white plastic sleeve down so it doesn't show, but you'd probably have a gap between the grip and the switch housing, as there's a locating pin that positions the housing. You could probably snap this pin off and put the housing wherever you want it. It might not be worth all the "extras" you have to deal with, but that's just me!

I was able to talk to them at the shop and they do not have any retail area open to the public. I told them what I wanted to see and they said if I came by they would get some out and let me see them. I will head over there today and let you know tonight what they look like.

Went and checked out the grips. You could definitely make them work. If you don’t move the controls out some you will probably have to cut the ends of your bars some for the grips to fit. They do not have a throttle sleeve so you would want to get one that you can cut to length. The grips are short enough that unless you have small hands they will hang off the grips some. My hands would not be comfortable on these grips for very long.
My first impression was not that good. They looked more like bicycle grips. They are a translucent red and the metal flake is large glitter pieces in the rubber, some of the glitter even looks like it is pink.
Then she showed me a set on a bike and they looked much better. If the grips fit the look of your bike I don't think anyone would really think anything bad about these grips.
The people at the shop seemed real nice. The responded to emails fast and were quick to answer questions. I think they would be good as far as customer service goes.
