In the never ending need to make my America stand out, I'm going looking at replacing the grips and the pegs on my America.

I'm looking at the Kuryakyn ISO Grips from Brent. Are there anyone else doing grips that fit without any mods?
Also, and most important... Where do I start looking for replacement pegs? Something with a bit of chrome and rubber, almost with the look and feel of the Kuryakyn ISO Grips.

I tried the stock pegs from the Rockets, but they don't fit without some serious honing, which is going to compromise the strength and at about $180, not worth the effort...

Any ideas where to start looking?

what I went with, after seeing these on Dazco's ride.

Can't recall where I bought them from, though. Daz, do you recall?

I can't remember if you bought them where i did, but i got em from the lowest priced place i could find, and that here. You choose the ones with no mounts, then email them and ask how to get triumph mounts which are part # 8840. They obviously don't stock them being a suzuki dealer, but they will get them for you for something like $15-20.

Next time i think i'm going for the swept wings. They look nice and don't have the blades, but i never use those anyways.

I looked at the isowings and opted for the switchblades just to have the option for the long hauls but also find them comfy without having to open them.
