Rizoma knockoffs? rubber or aluminum black section?

For an aluminum grip how do you glue it on the clutch side??

Hope they workout well for you!

I got some free with my new brake levers direct from overseas

Didn't put them on yet.


Did replace my left grip with a stock one, I used black spray paint - couldn't find my clear lacquer. Before the flaming starts, let me state I've successfully installed THOUSANDS of grips......on bicycles. Same principal.

That was a fun table though. They feel thin? I know you like something thick in your hands.

Yeah the right side is wierd feeling more than the left thin works. When you put em on you gotta do it one shot so if your thinking about the grips use carb cleaner to put em on it takes longer to dry than brake clean. The rubber is I guess to thin on the throttle side so it pops out of the aluminum under pressure when installing. The grips look good but I don't think they are gonna stay on.
