Harley grips are very important in maintaining control of your motorcycle.
A loose handle bar grip on your Harley can cause a slip on the road that could result in serious injury or even death. It is imperative to keep your Harley grips in good order to keep control of your motorcycle. Over time, your Harley grips will become thin and loose due to use. When your grips need replacing, you can take your bike into a shop, or if you have sufficient knowledge of mechanics and the proper tools, you can do it yourself.
