The next time the need to replace your worn LT grips roll around and the $40 per grip is too steep, Get the open end BMW grip from a R bike at 1/4 the price. Same size and shape just less expensive. Then go to your local hardware store (Ace Hardward will do), and get a plastic end plug to wedge into the open bar end, $1. Lots cheaper, looks great, less filling.

I tried the chrome caps and found that the tang clips were too short to provide a nice tight fit, but doable. The plastic end caps hove membrane that fit deeper into the bar ends
