Will Harley grips fit my ninja?

My girlfriends dad totaled his Harley and I'm wondering if his grips will fit on my 250. They are not stock, and they seem to be the same length. What do you think? No go? Maybe?

I think the bar O.D.s are going to be different.

Pretty sure the Ninja bars are 7/8" and most HDs run a 1" bar - but you could just measure.

I believe Harley grips will make your hands vibrate, unless your girlfriends dad had a rubber mounted engine.

Truth.

Besides, they'll give your Japanese sportbike cooties.

Gary, check out Oury grips. They are pretty fat in general for sport bikes and they are super cheap. I like them because they "dull" out some of the vibrations and such from the bars that just don't mean anything.

Oury road grips, the best as far as I'm concerned. The KLR has them, the ninja had them, I'm trying to figure out how to keep my heated grips and still have them on the tenere as well.

The fringe leather tassels also reduce your top speed with their increased drag.

It'll also cause your Ninja to leak oil.
