Title: Fitting motorcycle grips with a 1 inch throttle bore?
Post by: oldschoolace on April 28, 2015, 07:42 PM

Seen some grips I like but one is 7/8th bite and the other is 1 inch for a throttle.  >:(

Anyone ever fitted these and have any ideas about making up the difference besides using electricians tape?

Just about to suggest the same, of they're not too expensive that is.  :daumenhoch:

Did think that and they are fairly reasonable but with postage from the states it makes me think twice  :-\

Cut into a strip and wrap an old inner tube around the bar end before putting the grip on Clint  :daumenhoch:
