What grips are those?

First time I've seen mirrors mounted like that on the Wild Ones. Interesting!

If you are referring to my grips Steve... they're Performance Manchine Renthols. Love'em with a passion. Avon makes a copy of them at the same price point. You can also get the exact same grips with fancy encaps from Arlen Ness.

In regards to the mirrors. Been running my mirrors upside down on my last few bikes. I put them underneath on these and it really cleaned the top of the Outlawz. Was going to go with smaller Ness mirrors on the top but flipping them allows me to keep them big and still make the bars look good. They don't touch anything with the bars locked on both sides. And that is with the 12" KW shield.

Thanks for the reply about the grips. I have the Avons and they suck for one reason. The throttle grip is 1/4 inch too short thus there is a gap on the right side between the controls and the taper on the bars. There is no way to push the controls on any further because of the depth of the grip. I complained to Avon and they came back saying that their grips are for 1 inch bars only. I'll be buy the PM grips son.

Here's a couple pics of the problem.

I've got to say, I really like the look of those outlaws but it looks like they block a good portion of the view of the gauges on a Road Glide. True?

Actually not but i thought the same thing at first lp. The pictures do make it seem that way though. Just to be safe i went and jumped on it in the garage and even if i slump i can see all the guages clearly and i am only 5'8".
