I found a pair on eBay that I like, and they're 7/8 on the left, and 1 inch on the right. Will they work? Sorry about the stupid question...

All grips are two different sizes for motorcycles. The reason being is that one contacts the handlebars and the other the throttle tube that floats on the handlebars. So yes 7/8 and 1 inch. But that set will be called a 7/8ths set. Bigger bikes with bigger bars take a 1 inch set.

Awesome. I was just making sure the 7/8 set was the one I needed. Also, this says it doesn't include a throttle place...what is that?

 

[Blindstitch]

You got me there. Got a link?

These are the ones.

Ok. I think what is meant is the grips aren't the type that eliminate the throttle tube and replace it. That's fine because that's not what you want.



Go ahead and buy these ones.

Awesome. I'm still in my newbie learning stage, so I would rather be safe than sorry!!! I appreciate your help kind sir. For that I give +1 on your input!!!

Thanks Shep for reminding me that I still want a set of Grip Puppies.

You won't need them

That's ok. I like the large foam feel. Of course if I had the money I would go this route.

Kuryakyn Iso Grips I would also have to fall into a deal like Rickbert did or fall on my head to buy a pair.

Over priced.The metal parts also reduce the anti-vibration factor.
