Title: hand grip for throttle
Post by: Flathead Mike on February 12, 2015, 06:28:08 AM: Wayne is having a hard time finding someone to make grips. Anyone have any ideas on something that will work as a replacement ? Thanks, Mike.

Last time I spoke with Wayne, he was having a hard time finding someone to pour them.
