Anybody know where I can get some waffle grips that are not as hard as concrete? I need 4 sets. lol. I have bought them from a couple different places and they are no good. Thanks for any help.

OGK "Bolton" (like the guy who worked at Initek NOT the singer.....see how many people get that joke )

they are pretty soft out of the bag/new, I think they get repopped now as well, cant comment on how those feel. The Bolton's were actually a set of grips that Lil Indian used in the later '60's which they called "Cushionaire" and were on the full suspension bikes and even the 600's and 700's, but they were pretty common grips at the time......Just watch if you are shopping ebay that you are getting a set for motorcycles not bicycles with 2 of the same size ID's as they were also a popular grip for dirt bikes. And also watch for wording like "Bolton style" cause that just means your probably getting a set of those crap ass ones you have currently

Thanks @markus
The one set I bought from Ebay was hard as a rock. I also bought a set from OldMiniBikes and they were the same.

Frank has some soft grips, but they come with the throttle.

Thank you. I will have to ask if they are "soft".

Those are soft ones but you can still call and ask. It's funny you mention the grips being hard because I've bought a couple sets recently and they've been hard.

Do you know the eBay seller you bought the concrete ones from?. There's a seller Motocollector that has some, he says they say made in Japan, I'm not certain on the brand but the packaging in the background appears to be OGK.

Karen...I found out if you soak the grips with armoral and work it in with a toothbrush it softens the material. I won't call it rubber because nowadays who knows what it really is.
