Throttle Sleeve and Grip Choices

24 Jul 2011 19:18

Since I am running open bar end grips on my 82 KZ1000, I had to modify my stock throttle sleeve to fit. The sleeve seems a little brittle being a 29 year old. My question is are there good aftermarket replacement sleeves to be had that will fit the stock throttle housing? In addition, what is the preference for comfy sport grips..Oury?

Thanks.

You know what, I don't have a one to some other number of douche-bag scale. So.. Six!

I just replaced my throttle sleeve with an OEM part, then cut the supplied grip off. Then fitted some Bike Master road grips, about $45 all up. I couldn't find a direct aftermarket replacement, so OEM it was.
