OVERVIEW
The ODI Vans V‑Twin Lock‑On™ Grip Set delivers reliable traction and vibration isolation for riders upgrading factory handlebar controls. Molded from proprietary medium‑compound rubber featuring the signature Vans® waffle tread, these grips mount directly to standard 1‑inch handlebars via a dual‑ring clamp system. Built for Throttle‑By‑Wire platforms, they serve as a direct replacement that requires no custom adapters or electrical modifications.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
The balanced rubber density absorbs high‑frequency road tremors while preserving crisp steering feedback during hard acceleration or heavy braking. Bilateral aluminum locking rings secured with T15 Torx fasteners prevent rotational slip and maintain clamp tension over time. An integrated throttle tube is precision‑molded to TBW specifications, ensuring smooth electrical contact and zero actuation drag.

WHY HARLEY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Riders install the ODI Vans V‑Twin set to combine legendary waffle‑tread grip with targeted vibration dampening during extended highway miles. The Lock‑On™ clamping architecture and TBW‑optimized throttle tube eliminate the trial‑and‑error common with slip‑on replacements, providing a secure, plug‑and‑play swap with guaranteed electrical continuity. Stock touring and softail owners rely on this ergonomic upgrade to reduce hand fatigue, stabilize control inputs, and maintain consistent performance across varied pavement conditions.
