Default Lost Grip End Cap

I lost the clutch side grip end cap on my Willie G grips. Of course Harley doesn't sell end cap replacements for my Willie G grips. I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to. What did others do in this situation?

Sell the one you have on ebay. Ask at least $125.00.

Did you not ask what others in your situation did?

The same thing happened to a friend of mine. He lost the end cap to his clutch side grip also. He used the end cap from the brake side grip to replace it.

And don't forget to pepper the ad with words like, Rare, Vintage and Old School (Skool).
