Default Differences in grips

Ok I have been looking for new grips for my wifes bike(Hyosung GV650) and my bike(M50). So I am curious what is the difference between ones for metric bikes vs lets say harley. If the handle bars are both the same diameter(1") why wouldnt the harley one fit a metric? If the length of pipe is a concern, couldnt you just cut the bars a little if they are too long. And if they are a little too short, does it really matter if there is 1/4 - 1/2 space at the ends inside the grips. I just dont get it.

I found these and I really want something like this for the M50:
