Handle Bar Grips

#1 PostAuthor: Martin B » Thu Aug 06, 2020 3:22 pm

All of the replacement and pattern handle bar grips seem to be 125mm which is 5-10mm too short for the standard Z1000A2 bars. Is there somewhere which sells grips which would be suitable?

The thought did very briefly cross my mind, but there must be a better way :D

A lot of the repro stuff is getting shoddy :(
Think you can still get genuine left side but not sure of the right?

Thanks for all the replies. It seem that a lot of parts specialists?? sell the 125mm grips as suitable. They are definitely too short for the Z1000. Not sure about other models.
