ok guys ... so the SE Mauler I bought on here recently didn't come with any grips. So, after looking for some blue murray ones (I did find some but the chap on the museum wouldn't send to the UK ::) :( ) I have had to accept that I have little chance of finding the correct ones.
So bought these as an SE alternative - correct colour dark blue but I could do with the white (removable) sections to be light blue like the bar pad in the photo. Will these dye do you know? I know tuffs will but these are more rubber than plastic. Any thoughts and help guys???

In all honesty? Those grips have no place on any bike, let alone an old mauler. Sorry you did ask ;D

It needs something mate - the bars will be pretty slippy without any! ;)

this is what should have been on the bike (I think) but no response to a wanted on here and like I said, no luck with the chap from the US >:(
I did think about some blue oury grips or similar.....

What about the winners circle grips (not sure if real?) that are on here or ebay for £12,they are sky blue but you could dye them darker if you want? just a thought

I was thinking exactly that yesterday mate. Might try it as I have some blue rit on its way so could chuck em in and see how they come up.

Will if you don't mind if the grip mess up, give em a try ? it might soak up some of the blue (try Madonna blue in dylon ) hot water and some salt - might work might not ???
