Sweet....
I think I'll try a set of the $12.00 ones Supremo!
Red plugs wires rock. I wish they would have worked with my color scheme....
So you just glue the grips to a throttle tube eh?
Is the throttle tube you are running metal? Is it a good precise fit as well?
My other gripe about the PM's is that the throttle seems to fit sloppy. Way more slop than the factory throttle and sloppier even than the last set of HD branded buckshots I was running.
I went with the single throttle cable setup using a stealth cable and I like it to feel tight and precise....PM throttle side grips are not tight or precise.

Hammer impalers in this piccy but have taken em off now as too dangerous.
Chazman i think the grips that look like old style coke bottles in a metalflake rootbeer colour would look great on your bike

I got the "nostalgic collection" handgrips. Not too expensive at $59.95 (official HD price)
Bet you can get them cheaper if you shop around.
TheY suit my bike and are quite comfortable.
Still running the original floorboards

I was going to do the old school because i am old. you takes strips of leather and wrap the grips. we used to do that with leather glue but hot glue may work better.
Here is what i grab every day.

I dig the ones Supremo has as I have touches of off white on my bike.....Speedo is white faced nostalgic, emblems and typically I run with an off white shift **** as well.
I dig seeing the different grip and peg combos....Oddly thats an item we dont seem to discuss here often yet has a big impact on our bikes....
I'm shocked that my boy Old school has that high dollar billet stuff on his scoot....I would have never guessed!
Soon as I figger out what I'm gonna do with my pegs to match the old school coke bottle grips somebody is gonna get a schmokin' deal on my matching PM pegs and grips!!
A set that looks like little BMX bear trap pedals would be kinda cool......I think?
