Wow, I'm suprised at that, Kuryakyn still manufactures their own parts here in the US..right? - I couldn't imagine a company like them farming crap out to the Chinese..
I think their products are made in Korea.Correct me if I'm wrong.

Either people just want to bitch about something or in fact their quality really has gone down hill.
Well, I took this pic this mourning, so I guess that makes you MY bitch.

Hey that looks familiar. It was funny when mine went I was riding with hubby...he couldn't figure out why I wasn't keeping up on the new bike. then there is me trying to flag him down and having to squeeze as har as I could to turn the throttle....would have had no place to put it if I took it off at the time.

I just put some rubber bands around the stalk for grip then took it to the dealer. I've heard hair spray works too but i haven't tried it...

Like I said I love then but you would think they could glue them properly.

I have had numerous problems with Kury parts. Their customer service is almost non-existent.

Not to that I have a problem with their chrome, but if some do, OK, I'll conceed. However, glue coming off or not holding? Who did the install, maybe they should be the blame. To glue the grips on is used by all people that manufacture the product. That only leaves the installer or the glue. Think about it. I installed my grips and the glue patten looks nothing like the picks. If mine come off, I'm not looking for Kuryakyan but the glue or my pattern of application. Give me time I might have to eat feathers. (crow)

I think I'm correct in saying this, Kuryakyan sold out to someone a few years ago. It could be that they are taking a cheeper route in manufacturing their products now. I have not purchased anyting from them for quite a few years but what I did purchas in the past was of good quality. In fact at one time I think they were making parts for the mother company.

Yeah, it wasn't MY pattern of application, the throttle side came pre-glued. I glued the clutch side and that, so far, is fine. I went out and bought some Scotts Grip Stick for 2.50. I'll clean up the sleave and grip and try that when it's warm out. Only about 38 deg right now.
