Posts: 575 Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Been wanting to upgrade my grips on my 2009 Vision. Love the heated grips but wanted a little larger diameter and the stock grips are just butt ugly. I've seen quite a few of these Kuryakyns ISO Grips and like the styling. Two questions: - Will they kit on the Vision handlebars
- Any way of making them work with heat? Even if I have to destroy my stock grips to get the heating element out of them there should be a way of wrapping/integrating the heating element into the new grips. Has any one attempted this?
- Will Kewlmetal handlebar mounted helmet locks work with these Kuryakyn grips?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Say it aint so! Tassles on a stripper are nice, but . . . J/K thx for reply

Posts: 3773 Pittsburgh, PA | i seriously doubt the heater fromt he stock grips would work in the iso grips. i had the iso grips in the past and if you remove the rubber there is the metal/plastic part of the grip between the black rubber parts. if there was any heat it would be VERY uneven. PLus the black iso/rubber part of the iso grips are very thick. and would more than like dull the effect of the heat. when i had my iso grips i had alot of OC issues with them. |

I want the kuryakyn grips for my vision 8ball, but i do not have the heated grips to fight with. |
