    few things that come to mind...

    they dont have throttles on bmx bikes... motorcycle grips have 1 grip that is bigger to go over the throttle.....

    2- length- I can see bmx grips being an inch or so shorter than mc grips... so you may have to shave down the throttle and move your controls out towards the end more

    did u change bars because mine are 7/8" and went right over the throttle no problem. used a little grip glue and bailing wire to secure like they do on a dirt bike and good to go. and actually my bmx grips were almost 2 inches too long so i just took an exact o knife and trimmed off the excess on the inside. u can go to an good company like danscomp.com and order whatever length u want.

    you should look into it
