I don't know, but my stockers were steel and they didn't seem that much different than the TM H-D ones, not enough to matter. If I had a scale I'd weigh them.

Actually I 'd give them a 20% improvement - if that - over the stockers. I think the dampening claimed off the TM's is more hype. After 30 miles, I still get the damn "Where's that front brake lever at?" sensation. I've got some of the NOJ's around and I need to try them out on both grips. They're a simple Velcro-on type of foam/neoprene stuff.

I'm still wondering about the sub-out for the BMW grips off the touring bikes. If the 'NOJ Grip Wraps' or the 'Grip Puppies' cannot do any better, then I doubt the change-out to the BMW touring grips would do any better.

I still think the bars themselves need some sort of isolation.
