Hello All :

I see Buell make's " traction grips " but you'll lose the bar end caps, so what else is out there that will allow me the use of the bar ends.

Riding the couch for now.

Ummmmmm just cut out the round circle at the end of the traction grip and then reinstall your bar ends.

I'll say this! I've not much experience with grips, as I am a new rider, but boy is there a big difference in comfort between the stock grips and the traction grips.

$17 well spent in my opinion...

Best barends are found at mountainbike shops...cost around 7 to 8 dollars and work really well.
