Mine do not. The left side grip is hanging off the bar end about 1/2" and its super noticeable because I typically use stock grips and the left has no kind of structural support, so its like just empty rubber hanging off the end. If I push the grip all the way on there is no room to mount the clutch master.
I've installed countless bar sets and have never run into this before. Its like the left side is too short compared to the throttle side which fit perfectly.
What grips are you using? Is left grip somewhat rigid?
I'm about to give up and pull these bars off......

Couple questions about these bars - When you installed these bars did your clutch side perches, switches. grip all fit as expected?

You ground off the nub on the metal piece that holds the perch on right? Not sure what else could cause that unless there was an actual issue in making your bars but that seems almost impossible.
I'd take it all off that side and start over pretty much. Your switches and everything are pushed as far towards the center as possible?

Thats weird...my grips are rigid (harley heated) but they definitely slid all the way in. Everything fit perfectly.

I’ll try other grips.
Thanks for your reply.

It is the grips, these bars work best with a “rigid” grip per my conversation with FXR Division. If you use stock grips, or the”Vans” style there will be a little space at the end of the grip and depending on how you feel about it it may be acceptable.
I’ll try other grips.

though i love the looks of these style intakes i was talking with my local well respected engine builder about them and he said to keep a stock style air cleaner cover because at higher speeds your forcing air into the bike, i said well thats a good thing right? and he stated not when your running your top end lean (carb'd bike) are you guys with FI and computers not having that issue?
