Additionally, I think I've read that some owners just use normal (lock on) grips and tighten them down so they don't twist.
M Rose it may be helpful or instructive if you could just remove one of your IsoZone grips and take some pictures of the bar so we could see what it looks like. It may become clear what is necessary, if anything, to adapt other grips to the bar.
I have the normal round bar. And the grips seam to be just normal round grips on the inside… I’ll see about taking the grips off of my wife’s Verve today or tomorrow and see if they are different.
