Title: 90's grips
Post by: kev-s on April 20, 2009, 10:01 PM: what kind of grips were being used around 93 to 95?

i remember having a set of ati pistol petes which were quite hard if i remember correctly

also i had a set of odi mushroom 2's they were a hard plastic shell with the soft grip part on the top which when got wet gave u throttle grip yet the hard plastic stayed still :2funny: :2funny:

need a set of mid school grips for my 93 holmes build

cheers kev

My memory is letting me down at the mo, I'm struggling to remember owt else :-[

Odi Longnecks, or Roughnecks.

In the early 90s I used Oakley O-wings cos I could get them for 99p a pair ( :shocked:)
Then I changed to roughnecks, and stuck with them for about 10 years.

Post by: GINGERHOLMES on April 21, 2009, 08:22 AM: odyssey power paws ( they were great but used to brake up really easily would leave your hands covered in black rubber )

odi longnecks were the best grips i had around that time, with a set of donuts on them for extra padding lol

Yep, hotwheels for the O-wings. Pink, white, black, turquoise, I had them all. 2 days to wear in ... 2 days to wear OUT!
