Closed foam grip covers - Kinda like Grip Puppies. For Sale!

[kaitsdad]

SOLD OUT !!!

Thanks Everyone !!

Now I just gotta get them all shipped out.

Hey everyone !

I managed to bump into a source for many many sets of Closed foam grip covers - kinda like Grip Puppies. I can't say that they're Grip Puppies cause I didn't get them from Grip Puppies. But they have the same closed cell foam, the inside is finished, the ends are gently beveled.

These are the correct size for the FJR - I installed a set on my 06 yesterday, (after removing the old set) and they fit correctly.

I'll sell these to forum members for $7.00 a set - which includes postage to the lower 48 - Alaska and Hawaii we can talk.

I'll gladly ship to other countries as well - will have to research the mailing costs.

Once they're gone, they're gone. I'll be listing them on fleabay at a higher price once the forum members have their fill.

Send me a PM if you want some.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Do you offer volume discounts?

Chuck, the price is already 30% below what the cheapest retail price I was able to find. And it includes postage. And no sales tax. So - No volume discounts.

If you want LOTS of them, we can talk.

I haven't tried this brand (or grip puppies) but I'm guessing I'd go thru 2 pairs a year or so... I was thinking of buying 4 or 5 pairs

If you want to meet me up at THE LOOKOUT on Ortega some Saturday I'll take a set or 2.

Save you some shipping cost.

Yeah, they just slide over.....I use hairspray to lube, works good!!

Not to sound dumb... but.. what kind of hairspray worked sucessfully for you?

(I have a wife and 2 daughters... there are a LOT of different ones....)

 

[Chuck35]

I'd use one that offered more body and less bounce

OK - my favored install method - and this is over ST1300 heated grips - is the following:

1. soak the new cover in hot soapy water for a few minutes.

2. remove the bar end iffin it's a biggie.

3. start sliding the cover onto the grip.

4. using a compressed air source, pump air into the leading edge as you push/pat/twist the cover onto the grip. The compressed air will temporarily inflate the cover, allowing it to easily slide onto the grip.

Hairspray also works as a lube, just soak the grip and the inside of the cover - and work at it.

If they are just like Grip Puppies, no need for hair spray, just use your air hose.

good... cause using my air compressor does not draw attention to the fact that I just bought yet ANOTHER bit for the Feejer... it is a normal behaviour.

No doubt, asking for hairspray, would get me busted FOR SURE !!

My first set lasted a couple of years. Riding in the rain for several hrs after a couple of years of use did them in. I still have the throttle side on. Most likely will replace the left side for now and keep an extra as a spair. You can't beat this price anywhere. If your on the fence I would buy a set.
