Grips

Im looking into buying some Kuryakyn ISO grips for the Superhawk. Do any of you have them? Im also wondering what diameter the stock handlebars are. If Kuryakyn isnt an option I want to get the red honda pro grips to match the bike.

motojoe is an unknown quantity at this point
ISO grips are for crusiers and Goldwings. They will fit, but you will be disappointed in how much larger the outside diameter is. It will cause you to use too much grip to hold on to and eventually cause arm-pump. Use a sportbike grip, Progrip, Oury, Renthal, etc...
The handlebar diameter is 7/8". The throttle tube is gonna be a little larger. Use grip glue and safety wire for best results.

Hey Z, just my 2 cents, those will look ridiculous on your superhawk. I had them on a used 750 vulcan I bought and they looked bad enough on there (the "stiletto" end caps didn't help). Plus they're pretty expensive for grips. Even if you're into that kind of thing like motojoe said they're really thick and are like holding the grips on a big cruiser.
