Handgrips

I have been looking for a new set of handgrips for my eli, so I took the factory set off to check the correct size. I noticed in the catalogs that they ask the size of the bar (obviously). The throttle side measures 1" with the plastic twist thingy, and the clutch side measures 7/8", and of course these are the choice of sizes, does anyone know the correct size to order? are the chrome grips with the rubber ribs comfy or do they vibrate your hands numb? Thanks in advance.

Tony,
If you order 7/8" normally you will get one that is 1".
I have a new pair of foam grips I never put on because I am not sure that I like the size of them. They are foam with plain chrome ends, they are 1 1/2" diameter. I like to have a good grip while working the clutch and brake but if you are interested in them I will give you a good deal.
 
Tony, grips sizes are measured by the bars. 7/8" is what is on most bikes and the 1" are the big bars that you see on alot of harleys. When you get your grips they will be two different sizes, one for your clutch side and one for your throttle side. Just make sure you don't start off by putting the bigger one on the clutch side cuz getting that smaller one on your throttle can be a *****. lol
 
Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated, as far as the foam grips go Wuputt, thanks for the offer, but I think I am gonna pass. I kinda like the chrome/rubber line look (if that's any kind of description...lol) talk to ya later.

A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (Ford Motor Company) decided to have a canoe race. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.
On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.
The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.
Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing. So American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion.
They advised that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. To prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager.
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.
The next year the Japanese won by two miles.
Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India.
The End.
