Foam Grips

[coldoughboy]

I posted this opportunity a few weeks ago and got some interested responses and now I can not find the posts. I ordered the Jabco Foam Grip covers that I had read about on Jack Phelps site. Everything he said was exactly right. The grips look great, are extremely easy to install and function like a product costing much more. The only difference between his direction and reality is that Jabco Grips are now sold through a company called Trim-Lok. Trim-Lok does not like to deal with the general public. I had to order three sets of grip covers (they would not sell individual sets). As a result, I have two sets with no home. If you would like one of my sets, please let me know. The sets cost me $8.00 a piece including shipping. Please let me know if you are interested in my grips. I would like to honor the individuals that originally responded if possible. :xmas:

I, too, was having issues because of the small hard grip. I bought a set of Hap Jones foam sleeves at Road Rider in San Jose. They were $2.85. They were 6 1/2" so I had to trim an inch off to fit the ST grip size, but they work great. Road Rider has a web site http://www.roadridermca.com and the part number I bought was 03622.

I have a Paypal account but I have always paid with it, I am not sure how to receive money from it. I would also accept a personal check if you want to go that route. Just let me know and the grips are yours.

[eddiemack]

Whatever you prefer. I can send money via PayPal by using your email address or if you'd rather I can cut a paper check. Let me know the total, and where to send it. Thanks..

Eddie,

Thanks for the quick follow up on the grips. I hope that you like them. Keep your bike warm until spring. :cool:

[eddiemack]

Thank you for getting them in the mail. Hopefully I'll get the beaST out mid March.
Til then, it's parked out by the wifes Intruder.... just sitting there (sniff). ..
You're lucky to still be riding!

I bought and installed a set on my 2004 ST. They didn't last too long. I thought they would have lasted longer than 6 months. Maybe I am gripping too tight, huh? :a13:

I wore out a couple of sets of (very comfy) Grab-on's and now have a set of (very comfy) BMW sport grips and they will laST a loooong time. They are comfy 'cuz of shape/texture not material. So far these are the only thing BMW I've owned, these are not over engineered but are a bit pricey 8)

How much did you give for the BMW grips and where did you buy them?

BMW grips: p# Rt=32721458396

About $8 per grip.

I got mine at Chicago BMW

I got mine from my (relatively) local BMW dealer. But it was more like $20-25 for the pair. I just made sure I didn't tell the proprietriss that they were going on a Honda - I was afraid she wouldn't sell them to me! :lol:

Proprietress?? That would be WeST Valley BMW Jim? On Winnetka St.

My shadow will never, ever darken their door.

Hi Colddoughboy,
If you have a pair left I will take them off your hands.

That's the place. Sounds like you have a story with respect to them.

I got the impression that if I actually wanted to buy a BMW from them that I would have to prove myself worthy first. :bow1: Although, come to think of it, she did take my money. I went in whit the part numbers on a post it - saying I had looked it up on the 'net. She jokingly asked if I had looked up the price too, which I thought pretty strange 'cuz everyone knows that dealers have their own markup on parts. I'd have said $2.95 ea, but I was sure she would know I was fibbing! :lol:

Thanks for the interest but the last pair went out last yesterday.

I am sorry. I sent out my last set yesterday. It seems like there is plenty of interest to have someone else order a set of three and distribute the other two sets.
