Default Question on Performance Machine Grips...

Picked-up a set of used PM Contour XL grips in the classified section here on H-D Forums. They were advertised as used, and I got an excellent deal. That said... some of the rubber on the throttle grip is worn fairly smooth. I'd like to buy replacement (Renthal) rubber for the grips. However, I've only seen the Renthal replacement rubber for the PM Contour "Original" grips. Is there replacement rubber for the XL grip? Or do I just buy the "Original" replacement and cut to fit the XL grip?

Thanks!

Your right it's not listed, but you can get the correct rubber replacement part just call the PM tel# on their website. Been there done that got the Tee shirt & it wasn't cheap think they were 5 bucks a pop!!

Thanks for the info Dude. Kind of figured the "quik answer" was to call PM.

These grips are great... thanks again!

Don't forget to check with Avon, same rubber as the PM grips.
