Title: Grips???
Post by: HARTLESS on April 27, 2013, 01:14:45 AM
Has anyone installed the cheap aluminum grips from eBay? I'm thinking about getting some and am wondering how they fit

Fit fine, but would not be nice to use, may look ok but that's about it

Aluminum grips, seems like an oxymoron.  I use these: http://www.powersportsplace.com/parts/pgg-714bk?seid=pspse1&gclid=CMPY46jt6rYCFZBcMgodxFgAyw (http://www.powersportsplace.com/parts/pgg-714bk?seid=pspse1&gclid=CMPY46jt6rYCFZBcMgodxFgAyw)

Foam for comfort, slim styling so as not to look too damn dorky with those pregnant-looking foam styles grips...

Haha I didn't mean the ones with no rubber grips, sorry I was a little tired  :mocking: the ones with rubber grips with the aluminum on the sides or whatever. I am just thinking about going with a gold accent on my bike. Rims, grips, maybe gas cap, windshield bolts, have the rotors gold already. Eventually I'm going to repaint the bike with a metallic blue with the gold accents
