BikeMaster 7/8" Heated Grips?

[Tom05301]

At $59.00 from Aerostich, I'm not seeing a whole lot of benefit from coughing up the funds for the BMW original, or going through the fuss of rolling my own and sending Duck $90. Not that it's a bad thing to send Duck money...

Will these fit on my 1990 K75?

The handlebars are 22mm - close to 7/8.  The throttle tube is bigger by several millimeters.  Why not contact Aerostich and ask if you can return them if they don't fit?

More fun to check with you folk, but I'll give it a try.

Thanks, Duck.

Aerostich says:

1) 22mm is the same as 7/8ths inch
2) They are out of stock until the end of January.

Pretty shoddy sending an e-mail blast and not having enough stock to get through the week.

22mm is NOT the same as 7/8".  Sometimes it matters. sometimes it doesn't.

22mm = 0.86614"

7/8" = 0.875"

It is about one-sixty-fourth of an inch difference, for those decimally challenged.
