Where are you finding different length grips? And what brand?

I have used heated grips on a few bikes,,,but never some with built in end caps..
Guess you learn somethng new every day. Are these different length grips a cruiser bke deal? Perhaps thats why
So, what brand? and where are you getting these "specific lengths" grips?
Thanks..Oh,, and I have two or three sets of grips for the SH in my shop.. I'd be happy to measure them (all the same length) when I get home and post up what I find.

just for example
HotGrips ask for specified length in grip, for the best fit (I assume?)

Well see there ya go
I guess I just never noticed because I've never bought such a thing. OK,, So how about this, other then HOT grips or some other obscure manufacture.. Grips are a one size fit all. If you still need a length, I’m happy to measure a set... as soon as I get home tonight.
It makes sense,, I just never seen different lengths offered….. I’ve bought hundreds of sets for Sport Bikes, Dirt bikes, and even my wife’s Metric cruiser…, and just never noticed. Thanks.
