OVERVIEW
Designed to replace aging rubber controls, these lock-on grips deliver superior handling and vibration reduction for Harley-Davidson motorcycles from 1984 onward. Constructed from a proprietary medium-compound rubber secured by billet-aluminum rings, the set provides long-lasting traction without compromising rider hand comfort.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
The medium-compound rubber formulation balances durable wear resistance with targeted shock absorption, keeping hands comfortable over rough pavement or during high-rpm shifts. Molded Vans waffle treads create continuous front-to-rear bite for predictable traction under hard acceleration and braking. A dedicated cable-throttle cam aligns seamlessly with legacy Harley drive setups, ensuring smooth throttle operation while the clamp system eliminates bar rotation.

WHY HARLEY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Riders select these grips because the signature Vans waffle tread delivers predictable control when shifting body weight or riding on washboard roads, while the specific rubber formulation consistently pulls highway vibration away from the hands. The lock-on design bypasses messy adhesive curing and eliminates slippage risks, making maintenance or replacement straightforward. Paired with an accurate throttle cam and built entirely in the United States, this setup maintains factory reliability while upgrading tactile feedback on classic cable-throttle platforms.
