| | Posted : 10 Mar 2013 - 19:13 Post title : installed new grips | | | my roland sands design grips came in. I was sick of breaking the heated grips and did not want to worry anymore. These are black with nice rubber inserts and ALL aluminum to there is no chance of breaking a grip again. only issue if you want to call it that is they have a little extra side to side play in the housing as the grips are made for star motorcycles. this may bother some but does not bother me. they are very smooth to turn. I will post some pics this week to show everyone.

Did that to my Arlen Ness' from the same source for Star motorcycles, fixed!
