You need grips designed for the bike so the throttle side will fit into the switch box. I bought Isogrips, but they have to specify they will fit on our bikes.

They need to have one side with a longer ridge to act as a stop.

ANY 1" x 1 1/8" grip set at least 140mm long. Bar side is 1", throttle side is inch and an eigth.

I was hoping to purchase a set of Coke bottle grips that came with the tube as I figured I would break mine trying to remove the grip. I am having a difficult time coming up with any that are for the Savage. I guess I will have to get just the grips and be gently with the throttle tube.

Works great for grip removal and installation. When it dries (usually in a couple hours) the new grips will stay put with no slipping/twisting.

I am looking at these grips, the specs state they're for 1" bars. My question is that they have the tube already installed are these universal or do they have to be specific to the Suzuki? jpcycles web site product:534-934

I was looking at the Coke bottle ones. I emailed JP Cycles and they confirmed the fit. If I were you, I would do the same.

Most universal ones for the 1" bars will work fine. If you have any doubts though do as suggested above and email or call to make sure. R.F.

Thanks 00Savage I tried the WD40 to install new grips on a TTR125 I'm working on, I've always used compressed air but the WD40 worked much better Wink
