White Sharps, grips and blue lever covers, impossible to find these days.👊🏻

i have the lever grips in all but yellow and white i think now....the grips are the hardest to find! i still need blue, lavender and orange. i searched for 5 or 6 years for the white grips then 2 pairs came practically at once!! i tried peroxiding them butthey kept going yellow so ended up painting them with rubber paint, you can't even tell!! :daumenhoch:

I purchased some yellow sharp lever covers , a couple of years ago. Did the usual and dropped them on hot water before fitting.
Was gutted as a week later they had split open🥲 Good idea on the rubber paint, I will try some on the ends of a pair of white mushies.

Forget buying Christmas presents. Bagged some more Mushrooms explosion

Are all the old 1980's mushroom grips the super soft ones as from memory some where hard and gave blisters.
Seen some on eBay in long box so not sure what's soft or not.

The FUAN ones were not the best. All ODI grips are nice and soft👊🏻👊🏻

More Mushrooms landed.

:smitten: :smitten: Always love see pictures of this collection.
You managed to find a partner for that orphan orange one yet? I'm keeping an eye out for one, for you on the QT.
I'm still (also) searching for boxed green & boxed white, to complete my little collection. Not as grand as yours, I'm just trying to complete a 'one of each colour' effort of the 1st gen's. Will then have a (picture) frame commissioned similar to yours.

Still searching👍 Thanks for keeping em peeled for me. We've got the bug. I absolutely love mushrooms , best grips ever for me. Good luck with your search, I've got boxed white, but they are fitted to my Vincent, got green nuggets, but I'm also still searching for green. Steve.

Awesome stuff you lot, great collections! I have many Mushroom grips, in the boxes, many of them early serials too for the limited edition ones. I just cannot part with them, I love em! :smitten:

Would love to see pictures of them. One of my most relaxing events is baby wiping my mushrooms down with a few tunes on and a beer. Got to keep them clean and fresh.

Aye. The knock offs were shite. Horrible.
The ODIs don't last long but whilst they do they are heavenly.

Hey man I have found them. There is no wear, they are just dirty. I rode them about three times.

I took it apart about two years ago. No plans to rebuild, have had my fun out of it. What's the best way to remove them? I don't have an air line, and I tore a set of soft grips like that recently. Obs I won't dig a screw driver in them :LolLolLolLol:

Bars off, stand the grips in a pint glass of boiling water. Pry the flanges back to let the water do it's stuff. Tea towel over the grip and rotate. Works for me every time fistblump

Afternoon ,
Apologies for the late reply, had a rough few days loss of a family pet . I have a reproduction red and yellow in my collection, it's the 1980's ones I haven't got. Are yours 1980,s? Many thanks, Steve.

Ahhh ok dude. Nope they're about 12 years old now.

It's getting to be a bit of a problem now, more Mushrooms arrived😀
