Title: Grips--- FYI
Post by TallElf on 02/18/18 at 06:24:12

Just an FYI out there, as I was a bit naieve in my purchase. I found an awesome pair of 1 inch grips on Amazon, had them shipped direct from China... First of all, over 35 days to get them, but that is ok as they were knock off R/S machined grips. The down fall, the throttle tube side does not fit our lovely savage, as the diameter of the piece that connects to the throttle cable is about 1/8 inch too big.

Lesson learned only get grips that fit on the existing throttle tube, or you may wait for shipping for nothing.

Other than that.. Ride on my friends

I have a nice set of stock grips for sale. They will fit the stock tube. :)

For non stock grips you have to shave down all the ridges on the stock tube with a razor blade. Or buy another tube. But you might want to make sure you actually got 1" grips and NOT 7/8" grips. The throttle side will be more than 1" in size.

Ohiomoto,

How much for the stock grips?

I'm asking $40 (about half of new cost if I recall), but shoot me and offer. I won't need them.

I have never paid over $20.00 for grips on any bike I've owned, and never will. Usually, I change the stock grips on any new bike to something that absorbs vibration and fits my hand better.
