Hand Grips
Hey all I have a 1978 GL1000 and want new hand grips with throttle assist. First I have foam and chrome ones now and not sure how the end caps come off? Second are all grips the same (size, universal) or do I need something for Honda? And 3 where is the best place to get them? Thanks

Re: Hand Grips
The endcaps don't need to come off to get the grips off. The bars are standard size.

The bars on Goldwings are 7/8 inch. Not all bikes are the same. Most Harleys are 1 inch for example.

I bought the foam grip covers for my 1500. Best $10.00 I have ever spent.

Re: Hand Grips
The bars are 7/8" but you have to measure the length because a lot of grips are too short for the old Wings.
