Standard Pattern Grips

#1 PostAuthor: JohnC » Tue Aug 07, 2012 5:14 pm

I bought a set of these of fleabay recently, advertised as Z1 / Z1000 etc. Went to put them on the throttle tube and it was about 1/2 too small / short. Can anyone point me to some standard grips that actually fit and let me know if they've bought them the sizes.

Thanks.

John

i am sure the z1000 grips are a different pattern + are a longer grip. so i would say you have a twist grip from a z1000


grips for the z1/a/b/

you would have to reduce the length of the throttle tube to fit the early type grip
