White hand grips?

I just bought a 67 T100 and I am putting on a shorter set of drag bars. I want to go with the older styled hand grips in white.

Anybody know who might sell those?

They are basically rubber 'dirt bike' hand grips.

Both New Bonneville and Bella Corse have them. When I checked Bella Corse a few weeks ago, he didn't have them, but might have them now. I got mine at New Bonneville. As far as I can tell, they're the same. I put the white grips on my T100, took some crap for it, but I like them and I think they look great! They get better as they age.

If it's a 67, then they're 7/8" bars and grips. Mine will be too big to fit. Try British Only in Detroit or Domi-Racer in Cincinnati for the older grips. And I do believe they were grey, not white, back in the day.

I have them on my Bonnie. Got them from Bellacorse about a year and a half ago.

Bellacorse is right. Your bars are 7/8 unless someone changed them, and I see the white and grey grips on ebay often.

Try an ebay search for "Beston grips" or Beston Gran Turismo grips." There is a fellow on ebay who sells 7/8" and 1" in black and white and different lengths.

I got mine at Four Aces Cycle.

Good price, good service, and he had them in both 7/8 and 1 inch.

Here's the website: http://www.fouracescycle.com

+1 for Wes at Four Aces. I bought his grips and all my head parts for my '66 Bonnie. He also found me a nice rear brake drum and some head-steadies. He is good people.

I like the Jammer grips better - the are sparkley! I think Wes sells the Jammer grips.
