Default Show me your white grips !!!
Hey guys

now that i ordered a new Carlini 14" gangster and hellbent tall sissy bar from Ginz Choppers , now am thinking about adding white grips to replace the stock one , honestly i didn't like any of Harleys black ones and i think the white ones are so old school and will add contrast to the bike , so any deluxes or heritages or any bikes with apes and white grips show me your bike !!? here is mine so you can visualize it ... tell me what do you think

I think white grips would look good until they got dirty. There really wouldn't be a way to avoid stains on them unless you wore white cotton gloves or latex gloves

I think some kinda chromed grips would look much better. Plus they don't get dirty and shabby looking so easily. White material tends to turn yellow after a while if not 100% uv resistant...

I like white grips, very nostalgic. Yes they do get dirty but they are easily cleaned with a magic eraser when the rest of the bike gets cleaned.

+1... I really like white grips, that's why I got the same style grips in black. The white walls are hard enough to keep clean!

Again, magic eraser or 409 does a good job with clean up. For the price, if they get too dirty, just replace em'.

Happy shopping,

Phanowel,

Stay away from the threads, man......its a trap. Plenty of forum members wallets can vouch for it as well. Welcome to the white grip world.
