Would it be safe to say that these grips are never going to fit on PCX?
JoJo, I have seen you change grips more than once and I don't think we have a match here. Any thoughts from experience would be appreciated.

If they are closed end grips they should be fine.

Look awful though

Nope open ends, and they do look awful I prefer brutal honesty

Send them to Whitenoise. I'll say they look great

I believe there is a fair amount of skill and effort to removing and re-installing grips, not that WN couldn't do it but these are inexpensive and probably going to the trash.

I was hoping to lure JoJo into a block of instruction on the matter. These were purchased a year ago and I still don't know or haven't seen anyone demonstrate swapping out grips. Until then I'm not ready to break down the factory glue on the PCX stock grips just yet. Not something you want to deal with if you don't know what you are doing.

It's not a difficult job other than removing the ribbing on the throttle tube. Stanley knife and a bit of patience sorts it

oh, and we both know that 2yous has plenty of that! C'mon 2yous walk him through it! Better yet, bring the forum(s) a "how to" Yeah...that's the ticket!
Yeah, and you would say they (those grips) look Great IF they were mine ....."It's What I Like About You"

homie, if member kramnala58 comes back on board for a bit, he has some nice aftermarket grips on his bike. I "think" they may be Kuryakyn.
Better yet, why don't you pm him and ask how He did his. He's very helpful. Or give the mighty YouTube a shout out. I could probably dig up some info over at another forum too.
This is another mod I've always been skittish about doing on all my bikes. Not the left, but the throttle! Whoa....if I screw it up and it slips around?Weeeeeee..............
But...I could do the mod job. Most certainly!

Yes if there were a set that I knew would fit and I did fancy them a lot I would purchase. But not until I see and know they fit by someone on this forum... so any body can go first

It doesn't really warrant a how to...

Remove the bar ends.
Cut off the old grips
Trim the throttle tube of the little ridges with a Stanley knife
Pop the new grips on (using a bit of washing up liquid if you are puny)
Refit the bar ends

That's it.
