hand grip for throttle
« 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.

None of these are exact replicas . Just kinda close examples / possibilities .

Here's some Harley grips that are kind of close and too big inside diameter , so not really an option :

And , here's some 7/8" bar grips . also close , but ...

Then , there's always the vintage style puff grips that can have the control guard ends removed :

Remember, you need two different size grips for the left and right.

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

Thanks for the ideas, maybe I can make one of these work. You are right about Wayne not being able to find someone to pour them. Thanks again. Mike.
