Question What grips work with bar-end mirrors??

Folks, need your help with this. Difficult to figure out just from photos from vendors.

I have a drag bar coming for my 48 (using the HD Sportster Drag Bars Part No. 55800035) and would like to go with bar-end mirrors. Those with a similar setup, what grips are you using??

Use any grips you want but be prepared to chop the ends off em, Some companys like Joker Machine and Oberon make grips for bar end mirrors.
I want bar end mirrors but my clip-ons are solid so i would have to use the bar end mirrors which clamp around the bar rather than slide into bar

That is great news. I love the HD Get a Grip and thought I was not going to be able to use them on this bike.

Yeah any grip that can be chopped at the tip will work, as long as you have the stock throttle which twists around the bar so the mirror stays static.

The coke-bottle grips are particularly good.
