GripAce - 4 button switch control
So ive been talking back and forth with a guy from GripAce about my installation. I ordered new grips and are waiting for them to arrive. I will then send them to CA for the machining and fitment of the new GripAce product. I asked if my new rubber grips would need any machining and he said yes. He included these pictures with the latest email about 10 mins ago. If this is what they are going to look like when they come back....Id rather do it myself. They want to charge me another $50 to do this to the grips. That does not look like quality professional installation to me..... does it?!!?!

If the controls are on the grip, where do you put them and do you use your thumb or what? I am a little confused after looking at the grip. On their site they have some in the bars which looks really cool. When i say where do you put them, I mean top bottom facing backwards? Teh place is right around teh corner from my house. I might avhe to swing by and see what kind of an operation it is.

D,
picture you left hand on the grip while ur sitting on it....
Where your finger tips are, is where the buttons will be. U actually have to press them for them to perform the function they are intended for, so you dont actuate an action by accident.
I think its a great idea for a product. but i like things pretty damn near perfect. Im an architect so my attention to detail is spot on, and i wont put grips that look like that one my bike.... im sorry but if im paying for that as a result, to me, that is unacceptable.
Here are some links for you and everyone interested.
