Well, I was talking with Laurie (Mschievous)yesterday, and she asked what happened to my throttle grip. I said nothing why?

I think I will be emailing Hippy Killer to find if they will replace it. I've only had them a few months.
I thought Urethane sounded like a good material, but maybe the sun or something caused it to crack. It appears to have split right down the seam.

ugh.

That guy seems pretty decent on the Jockey Journal forums, hopefully he replaces it without a hassle.

I'm sure they were for one inch bars, right?
Only reason I ask, is I was going to get some green ones just like that, but they were ONLY avalible for 7/8" bars.

In person, they looked pretty good.

Yes they did... and in the context of the green theme Brent has in mind for his bike, they were perfect!!

You're not the first to say that, but looks are in the eye of the beholder, and I never said I had good taste.
My email to HK came back, saying his mailbox was full...maybe I will have to change the whole color theme I was thinking of.

they were are/were for 1" bars. I liked it because you can see the black bar through them, and any other green ones I find are always neon lime green, which is okay, but not what I was looking for. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I thought looks were in the eye of the beer holder.
