Scooterotica

Looking for a set of motorbike style grips in black for my Li. Eiter foam or rubber. Also looking for the chromed or polished end caps to fit the bars as well. Does anyone know the best ones and if pref ones that dont take too much fettling (he said hopfully)

Links please...

'Superbike' grips I've always found to be excellent. They used to give them away on the front of one of the bike mags, but I can't remember which one.

There's some on ebay all the time.

I tend to use them. Like all motorbike grips, they are different sizes, but they can both go on if made supple with boiling water first, and spraying lacquer or something onto the bar.
They come with plastic end plugs. I used Hope pushbike plugs, but when one fell out [after riding it before the silicone had gone off], i just replaced it with a Peroni bottle top...

I've used these too - very grippy, as said before you can get them on ebay and bar end weights too,

im not knocking what some dealers charge for there grips but the TZR ones are in my experiance over priced i bought 3 sets for £7 a set last year ,another alternative is the renthol type http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renthal-Road-Race ... 7C294%3A50 they are long though and reguire some sort of barend weight
total for grips, bar end weights and longer yamaha clutch lever was £15

Shocky, what are the grips on the other scoot, they look very nice? Yeah i need to get a dog leg clutch lever with ball end to match the one on my Scootsrs front disc set up. any idea where i can get said item. Pref one that sits flush with the housing.

I use Spanish dogleg levers, as fitted to Servetas.
If they come black, the coating can be easily removed with thinners and then the lever polished

Do you know if the spanish servetta ones are a good fit, and all spanish levers the same? I have a series 3 Li

the other grops are my dragster ones standard as far as i know unless someone knows differant the lever on the master cylinder isnt the yamaha one this is though i spaced it up with a small shim so its flush with the top this lever isnt a direct fit you have to do some cutting and grinding
