GL1800 Handlebar dampers

[Cool-A]

My wife and I went for a ride the other day on our 2006 Goldwing/Champion trike. When we got home and I was cleaning the bugs off, I noticed I was missing a handlebar damper off the throttle side. Could somebody please tell me if we really need these dampers on a trike, or can I take the one off the left side also, and put some caps in their place? I looked at some sites on the internet and it looks like they only sell the dampers in pairs. I didn't notice any end caps for them though. Thanks.

One of the first things I did was to replace those tiny grips with Kury ISO grips. Which covered the ends. Use a little blue loc-tite on it when you get it from Charlie.

I want to thank Charley and kj5ix for the fast response to my damper problem. I'll be in touch with Charley. Also, kj5ix, when you replaced your grips, did you do away with the dampers? And yes, I'm going to put a little loct-tite on both ends to make sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks again.

Thanks Charley. Maybe hold off on sending the damper end till I can do a little more checking on those Kury grips. We are on our way camping for a few days, will check back then.
