Unless you have a step down handlebars you can move the throttle housing .25" & clutch side to match up the grip. Our grips are for 1" bars only. You can call us at 800-334-7477 to talk to one of our technicians.

The issue is that the throttle side grip is not as deep as the stock grip. This leaves a 1/4 inch space showing where the bar steps up from 1". This is the reason that they state their grips are for 1" bars only.

Here's some pics . . .



This is true. While I do not have a problem with the way they look on my WO518 bars, I know there are others that may. Good that you mentioned it so someone is not surprised should they use these on step down bars.
