Throttle grip

[michipons]

Does anybody knows where to find those kind of grips??
Mine was in bad condition, I removed it and installed a different one, the problem is that the plastic part that pulls the cable has some straight lines that fit into slots of this grip, but my new grip doesn't have them, so you can clearly see them and feel them which is not very nice…

I believe they are Honda CB750 or similar. Try David Silver Spares in the UK.

But I only need the rubber grip… not the whole assembly…

I grind the ridges off the throttle tube.
I don't use those "original" grips. They aren't thick enough and don't filter the vibrations.

Hi Michi,
it is a Suzuki part, Gt series 250 and others

I use Renthal road racing grips. They have a thicker grip and are designed for good comfort, especially against vibration.

But the rivet counters more like the originals

I bow to the good old Nava Gran Turismo. Getting hard to find.

Thanks to all, searching for the suzuki model they are quite easy to find, unfortunately the majority in the UK (customs) they are also quite expensive… it looks it is not only Laverda spare parts that are quite expensive…

The white slotted protrusion only fits with original crappy grips from memory - I also grind it off and can then use any grip that takes my fancy - I hate thick grips - have the Yamaha R1 grips that came with my clipons (and a clutch perch and lever AND a Brembo radial master cyl and lever - were only advertised as a pair of clipons - what a friggin bargain buy!) I scored from US Ebay. Love US Ebay for wrecked Japanese parts - I also bought my pair of Sumitomo monobloc blue spot R1 calipers that way ... shame about the cost of shipping these and the exchange rate these days.

Don't knock them until you have tried them but these 'puppies' work. At first, I thought they felt too fat but 2 hundred miles down the road I am a convert, vibrations gone, no cramping in the hands, good feel, what's not to like? I have them on both my bikes now.
