The stock handgrips are very thick, which I prefer. I like them a lot. Therefore, I haven't decided if I am going to get new grips.

Big bar handlebars (1-1/8 inch) are thicker at the center, for added strength. However, they taper to the standardized, 7/8-inch diameter at the ends.

Just an FYI, was just talking to Ryan at CSC, he mentioned they were able to install a pair of Barkbusters wraparounds (I'm presuming he was talking the brand, not the generic styling of hand protectors) - but he indicated they had to customize the clamp hardware - the stock clamps were too long and were resulting in hitting the windshield *sigh*

So with the limited miles you have put on the bike...
hows the vibration if any..... handle bars/foot pegs.. looks as if thats something i have to start concidering now... As I now have carpal tunnel my XT660 gives my right hand a real hard time..goes numbe in about 30mins of riding at 100kmph... 4000rpm is a real bad vibration zone on the XT...

Are the stock bars aluminum or steel? If steel, with only a 1/2 inch hole, they would be very heavy. Tough as a tank, but way heavy. If there is that much material there I'll just tap some threads and drill the guards to match. Simple solution. If anyone is installing grip heaters, wrap the left bar with friction tape to the approximate diameter of the throttle tube on the right. Then install the heater and a right side throttle diameter handgrip on the left. Otherwise your handlebars will suck heat so hast your left hand can be cold and your right hand sweating. I know, that means buying 2 sets of grips, but you can befriend a 4-wheeler person with a gift of the two smaller grips because 4-wheelers don't have throttle tubes.

The company Asiawing is the OEM for SSR's bike which is also sold into other countries under various brands. http://asiawing.com/english/index.asp One of those obscure (at least for us) European manufacturers uses the same engine, but apparently manufactures their own bike. Someone can remind me what the brand is... The reason I mention this is that this engine has been sorted out for a little while now, so it is not 'untested'

I'm heading to Springfield, MO for a Spyder get together for the next couple of weeks, but I'm free after that.

Although I was parked between a couple of Adv bikes, I was lost in a sea of Harleys. I did notice several folks taking a very close look, but I like to look at other bikes when I'm at this get together, so didn't get the chance to speak to anybody.
