You got me all wrong, bro'! It's not all about the bling. There has to be some usability that goes along with it. Thanks for the link.

Sage pointed me to that site, but you're right there is no price or distributor info on there. I will probably keep looking, but will do a combination of the Galindo and Pro-grip stuff for now. Thanks though. I'll let everyone know if I find out anything else.

:BigBSBusa,
Here is a pic of the ones that I put on my 04LE. They add a little bling, but are functional as well. With the stock grips, if I wanted to stick this thing to the stops, I had to loosen my grip and roll my hand a little around the throttle. Now, if I want every bit of it, it is at my command W/O loosening my grip.
BTW, pic sux, the wife is the graphic artist/photographer.

PS. As far as going all the way to the kill switch mine doesn't, but could have & should have. I didn't trim the inside rubber piece that would have allowed me to put it on to w/i a mm of the kill switch and I didn't think about it until, I had already glued the stupid thing on.

I have the exact same set. I haven't put them on yet, but I like the looks. I currently have the Harris Busa grips on and they are more comfortable than stock. The only thing is that I have this nice set of chrome bar ends and I like the look of them. The only problem is that the chrome grips don't allow for the use of bar ends because the end of the grip is closed. I'm considering a small mod, but will have it done by a machinist friend of mine where I can have the best of both worlds. If I can't come up with a feasible solution, then I'll sell them to ya for half of what I paid for them. Let's say 20 or $25 maybe?
I appreciate it, BA, but I have the same dilemma. I have a set of chrome bar ends that are going on, so I am going to see if what I have will work. I have the Harris grips too, but don't know if they will work with the chrome bar ends. I figure grips are a very easy thing to take care (not as easy to find though), so I guess that's a mod that can go on and on. I'll show ya'll what I got here in a couple weeks.:blush:

Heres the new grips and the bar ends. I don't have the screws to put the stock ones on, but I will have them soon enough. This will give you an idea what they look like at the very least. You can tell the bar end is not connected. Man I like those chrome inners.
