I knew that, I was just practicing the excuse for having pointless bling on the bike, something I usually can't stand, but seem to be thinking about more and more. Very worrying (well, it would be if I gave a toss).

I know what you mean, I've been almost anti-bling most of my life, but now I'm drifting towards the dark side, may be a mid life crisis thing.

Nice grips BTW and that colour should blend nicely on yours

No disrespect to the gay community, but I don't want a pair of chaps clinging to MY arse!

Got one on, the throttle side is proving to be quite difficult due you the ridgie bits Aprilias have. I had trimmed them down previously for the hot grips, but it's still hard going.

I actually rather like them. What are they like to ride with? I had some chrome and foam type things on my gsx14 and they were 'orible. constant slght vibration when i had my summer gloves on

Like that very much. Who produces them? They could look very tasty in stainless steel on the Fut

Not ridden with them yet but I suspect I will need to get some weights turned up to fit inside the bar ends, last time I had ally bar ends it was very vibey and buzzy, made my fingers tingle which isn't good.

Not bad for only £20 though, the finish is good and they look well made (time will tell of course). Can't remember who makes them, I chucked the packaging away. I got them from the Beaulieu show last month and can't remember the stallholder's name either. Maybe Bikebitz?

THIS This is them I think, but they don't seem to come with bar ends.
