New Handgrips?

I just installed SuperBars and my old handgrips dont really fit back on - can anyone recommend some to go with the Superbars? Does nb.com have any? I like them cause they send me stickers when I order

Do you have a Scram or Bonnie? And did you get the right size bars? Or do you mean that they don't fit your liking anymore, because they should go back on without any issues.

Question Grips

Not too familiar w/ what you have - but my grips are starting to show their age! Someone said they got some newgrips from NB & didnt like them @ 1st, but they were nice after a while? I would like some w/ a rounder feel, & maybe some gell or something to absorb the vibes? Its on my wish list! Gota chill on the mods for a little while- my CC bill just caught up w/ me!! Still got moreon the way! Let me know what you find & how you like them!

I bought the vintage grips (football) and love them. Havent had the chance to go for a long test ride yet, but they feel great. They fit me better as they are bigger and more round which you hand conforms to better, IMO. Very satisifed with that 15 bucks!

There are some Tomasselli Gran Turismo knock-offs out there for 7/8" and the 1" (Bonneville) bars. Check on eBay. Also on this site...

http://zksportmotors.com/grips.html

Problem with this site is they don't tell you how long they are. Might have to call them.

I have a bonnie and they fit but there is no place on the superbars to screw in the endcaps - so now there is a little space in between the end of the bar and the end of the grip - if that makes sense.

Ahhh ok. Yeah if that is the vintage/football grips might be a good choice. They go over the end of the bars and would cover up that hole. if you go with bar-end mirros later you just have to cut them and it will work just fine. Plus at 15 bucks, one of the best mods that I could tell a difference.

Football Grips

When I changed my bars out I installed the football grips from Bellacorse and love them.

Go for the football grips. I got the white ones and am still catching flak for it, but I love them!
