I really don't know since I did not buy them.
Think long and hard before you put out your hard earned cash for these. You will need to remove the bar end weights to install them. Kuryakyn claims that the weight are not needed if you install their grips. This is not true. At highway speeds the mirrors will shake so bad they are nearly useless. While they may isolate you from the vibration they do nothing to damp it and remove the weights that do. I had to pack the handlebars with lead to get it under control and it still isn't as good as stock. Something about all the weight out on the end of the bar I guess. Also keep in mind that installing these reduces the handlebar width. Another thing I don't like about these grips is that they do not stick to any of my gloves so riding with your grip relaxed completely is difficult. My stock grips stick to my gloves.
