Rider Experiences
Marcus Thorne: After swapping my stock Harley grips for the Avon Air Cushions, the “numb hand” syndrome I used to get after an hour on the interstate has completely vanished. The integrated throttle assist is a game-changer for cruising, and the Kraton rubber feels incredibly tacky even when I’m caught in a sudden Florida downpour without gloves.
Sarah Jenkins: I installed the Memory Foam grips on my Indian Scout for a cross-country trip, and the difference in vibration dampening is night and day compared to standard rubber. They have held up beautifully against sun exposure and cleaning chemicals, maintaining that soft, supportive squish without getting sticky or degrading over three thousand miles of hard riding.
David Miller: The Custom Contour Spike grips are the perfect finishing touch for my garage-built chopper, providing an aggressive look without sacrificing the ergonomics needed for actual riding. The billet aluminum machining is top-tier, and the way the chrome accents catch the light always gets compliments at every bike night I attend.
Avon FAQ
Can I install Avon grips on a Harley-Davidson with Throttle-by-Wire?
Yes, Avon offers specific models designed for “Fly-By-Wire” (FBW) or “Throttle-by-Wire” systems. When purchasing, ensure you select the FBW-specific throttle tube option to ensure the internal gears line up correctly with your bike’s electronic sensor.
Will these grips fit 7/8″ handlebars on metric bikes?
While many Avon grips are designed for 1″ bars common on V-Twins, they do offer a dedicated “Metric” line for 7/8″ handlebars. However, please note that they are not compatible with the Harley-Davidson XG-750 Street, as that model uses a unique housing size that does not fit standard 7/8″ grips.
How do I speed up the warming process on my heated grips?
Avon heated grips typically take about 30 minutes to reach their full operating temperature. To speed up the heat dispersion in cold weather, you can temporarily place your riding gloves over the handlebars while the bike is warming up to trap the heat against the grip surface.
What is the difference between “Push-Pull” and “Fly-By-Wire” grips?
Push-Pull grips are designed for older motorcycles that use traditional mechanical cables to open and close the throttle. Fly-By-Wire grips are designed for modern motorcycles with electronic throttles, featuring an internal notched gear instead of cable housing.
Is the rubber on Avon grips replaceable if it wears out?
Yes, Avon offers a unique service where they can replace the rubber portion of your grips. If your rubber becomes worn or damaged after the initial warranty period, you can contact the manufacturer to have the grips refurbished for a nominal fee, which includes the cost of return shipping.
Can I use standard grip glue during installation?
For the clutch-side (left) grip, you should use a high-quality grip glue or the “air hose trick” to slide the grip into place. For the throttle side, most Avon grips come as a complete sleeve assembly, meaning no glue is required as the grip is held in place by your motorcycle’s throttle housing.
