Throttle grip lifespan
So I just finished my latest round of mods and was going out to find a decent spot to take some new pics to post.
I stop at the ATM, go to leave and WTF no throttle!
This was my second pair of Kury Iso grips. The first throttle grip snapped in half and came off the bars in my hand. I was able to ride home by jamming the broken halves together while twisting.
I called Kury, they promptly sent me a new pair. That was about two years ago.
The replacement broke at the hole where you insert the cable barrel.
I like the style of the Iso grips as they do dampen the vibration, fill up my big mit, and look good. After two epic failures I won't go back for a third try, but would like opinions on similar grips, especially with chrome.
For those of you using the grips, if you hear an unexplained snapping sound you should remove the grip and look for cracks before you end up pulling on the throttle cable by hand to get home!

i had some knockoff ISO grips off ebay on my old suzuki, they costed $30/pair. the only issue i had with them was the throttle tube came unglued from the grip shell. after about 2 months, fixed it with some gorilla glue and never had another issue with em. i dont trust kuryakyn. everything they sell seems low quality and high priced
