Is it hollow, have threaded hole, or ??? My grips are stock, and cover end of bar, so I can't see unless I remove, or cut. Suggestions on a good set.

I like the integrated mirrors. https://www.highwaydirtbikes.com/index.p...4tmw8dq793780g4 Otherwise I have MSR hand guards and they work fine.

Easy install, only had to add a 1/2" spacer with longer bolt to clear my brake hose. ( Made one from PVC pipe scrap. ) Back roads explorer, Designer, Innovator & all-a-round messer-upper.
