Yeah stock grips will work. I'm pretty sure all sport bike grips have the same OD (haven't seen different sizes). Good luck getting them off; your gonna need it unless you have an air compressor. Renthal grips are 15 bucks, well worth it to save you effort.

I got mine today and I am having some trouble getting the tube to return back to closed ( way to much friction). I'm thinking it is because the secondary throttle cable; the one thats there as a back up; is too long and it is somehow causing the tube to not return to the closed position. I can see marks on the inside of the housing where the throttle tube has been rubbing.
It spins freely without the cables installed/attached and there seems to be enough room so I'm pretty confident nothing will have to be cut away and should work once I get this fairing off to adjust this return cable.

I'll do the zip tie mod and let you know.
