Best Rocket 3 handle bar grips

I'm gonna have to speak up on this one.

I've put the Kuri's on the last 3 or 4 street bikes I've owned. They look and feel great and have never caused me any problems.

After having issues with broken throttle cable tabs recently (twice in a month), I swapped back to the stock grips. I am considering other grips--maybe the Triumph heated grips--but for now the Kuryakyn's are out.

You can search for this issue and see that it's "kind of" common. See my related posts on this site.

You've had problems with the throttle cable tabs on Kuryakin Iso grips? I thought those problems were with heated grips and not thje Iso grips per se, but maybe I'm mistaken. I've certainly had no problem with mine over about 30,000kms. Can you point us to the other related posts?

yeah I'm sure I read somewhere it was the OEM triumph heated grips that kept breaking the tabs on the throttle sleeve, which is why I looked at other option I have the "Heat Demon" internal heated grips they sit inside the actual bars so no moving parts that and the comfort of the ISO grips is awesome

Look here Dennis. http://www.r3owners.net/rocket-iii-touring-forum/13233-broken-heated-grip-again.html

Can't answer your question about whether the ISO grips fit over OE heated grips although I recall reading somewhere that earlier problems with doing so were rectified.

Thanks Richard.. so its the little plastic cable end retainer which is becoming brittle with the generated grip heat it would seem..
