Grips

I have also ordered a set of NOS grips from Robert Bruce. We are going to see how he red ones look, but may use the new black ones as a backup.

If the red grips a 7/8" your gonna need a heat gun & patience to get it on the throttle and a razor to gets it off

Hey Manchester, would you use the the red or black ones. By the way, the Taco is perfect, I want one just like yours with a Hot engine. If I get serious, I may need to pick your brain on the build.

Thank you, the black ones may look best. We came up with the idea of the Red ones after seeing some on BABs Sapp bike at Funday 2012, they did look cool. BAB gave me a link of where to buy some. Also, the first Powell my brothers and I ever saw was a C Model with Red grips. It was on the East Coast.
