He never had a grip. He had 8 kids fer chrissake!

Oh, er, you're talking about hand grips on the Feej... Never mind.

;) :D

 
I seem to recall that WC has BMW touring grips with Top Gun bar ends.?.

 
Thanks Radman any idea what site he got them from?

I have his page on installing them...

 
I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I just love riding into my local BMW/Harley/Yamaha dealer :)

 
When I got mine, I googled them and found them for less than $20 at a east coast beemer dealer. They lowered the price once they found out I didn't talk like a Princeton graduate.... :D

 
I got mine by walking in to the local Beemer shop... once I convinced the guy behind the register that A) I didn't have a BMW, and B) still knew what I was looking for, they ordered the parts for me (same as Rad gave above).

If anyone were to give me grief about driving a Yamaha and using BMW grips, I'd just tell them that was the only BMW part worth having...

$12 each or $12 pair? Of course if they are genuine BMW parts, they WOULD BE in fact $12 each. OUCH!

 
List price of these grips is $9.20 each. These are pretty substantial grips and $18.40 seems like a reasonable price to me.

(I wonder if the folks complaining about high BMW parts prices have ever bought any BMW parts. I own an FJR and a BMW, and while some things are higher and some are lower, in general, it averages about the same.)

I've bought many BMW car parts. No BMW bikes though. I thought the car part prices were pretty outrageous sometimes.

 
I've owned a couple of the cars, and it wasn't the parts - it was the service that was the killer. Never had a bill under $600.00 for routine maintenance.
