Brolam Playlife grips?

[sydduckett]

Was down at Wicksteed today and was going to get a set for my scoot but they didnt have any for an Li ...Can get them off fleabay but before i shell out, was wondering if anyone had used them on Li,s..If so any cop or are the ends gonna fall off after 5 mins...

Also while im being anal, which is the most comfortable grip out of the 3 they do?

Thats all....gentlemen

I got some but not fitted them just yet, look spot on got the diamond pattern ones feel very spongy? I do hope the bar ends dont fall off after 5 miles..have a look at the post by jase frost on fitting bar ends.

how do the bar ends stay in

[Andy Pickering]

Gonna drill the end of handle bars and rivet or as jase frost shows drill thread then cut head off..although he does this to take up slop for gearchange and throttle but already done this on spare headset ready for next year (old sil one).

Shocky, have exactly the same set up as you, same grips as well. Dont know what the GP ends are like but the LI ones are way off. Have spent ages with a dremmel trying to grind down the circumfreence of the bar end and slotted it as well so kit would fit. Never really worked though as they always went in on the p155 even when hammered in....

I think these Playlife grips work on the principal that the bar end sits in a groove at the end of the rubber sleeve as opposed to the actual end of the the metal handlebar tube? Thats the way it looked when i saw them on the stsnd...

Anyone confirm this?
