i really like the ISO grips as I have small hands and the larger grips give me a better feel. IMHO
I bought a set and installed them yesterday. Had some insights during install that may help others.
The installation instructions REALLY stress not pinching the wires. Good Idea. When putting the chrome cage on, the instructions recommend using a wire tie to help bring the cage halves together. I tried that, but found the amount of force needed to get the halves together was causing the rubber of the grip to move and not seat right in the cage. It was real hard to pull the wire tie tight and still "massage" the rubber back into the cage. I just don't have enough hands. I decided to use hose clamps instead of wire ties. This gave me very precise control on how much I pulled the halves together, allowing me to "massage" the rubber as I went.
I was a little afraid that the hose clamps (I used three) might scratch the cage. The rubber sticks up enough to protect the chrome on the cage (at least in my case). Just a tip to maybe help someone else that goes with these grips.
The grips do still heat up and you can feel the heat even through the ISO's. Takes a tad longer to feel it and it might not be as warm, but, this was not a big concern as I have a full set of electrics (Jacket liner, Gloves, pants, socks ... It's amazing how after I turned 60 I've become more sensitive to the cold ... LOL ... and I used to think a bagger was an "old man's ride" :Shrug.
I love the extra feel of the fat grips.
