Title: Avon coke bottle grips
Post by Ap5112 on 11/05/13 at 14:39:16

So after extensive research I found that blue collar bobber has their avon coke bottle grips special made to fit the suzuki savage so if anyone was ever wondering how to make the coke bottle grips work there ya go just give them a call they will sell them separate without the kit.

BCB is fibbing...
I bought mine on E-bay for $10... (you just have to make sure they aren't the same ID on both sides)... the correct ones are actually the most common.
Same size right and left are rare...

That's crazy so the throttle fits inside the switch housing? Do you have a link to the right ones cause I ordered a pair and they didn't work

You don't need a new throttle sleeve... the grips will just slide onto the old one fine... (see link above)... they come in lots of other colors if you search...
Best luck... ;)...

Here's mine... I cut the ends off for the bar-end mirrors...

I'm planning to get a set of the checkered rubber Avon grips for my Savage. But, I use a Panhead era throttle housing, not the stock mess. Current grips are HD made, chrome and black rubber bar style, with built in throttle cable attachment. Work great.

Old set. Lasted 7 years. Takes a CB750/KZ900-1000 throttle cable and accepts HD style grips with permanent throttle sleeve as well. You can still buy them new, but they are up to $30 plus shipping these days, I paid $15 for mine.
