Hi there, I've seen some really nice handlebar grips on a powerful racing moterbike. They are alluminium 22mm 7/8" in size and look the business, does anyone know if they would fit on a vespa px or does someone know of any really nice racing alluminium grips that do fit the vespa px. Any help would be great
cheers!

they do look like they work ,personally i dislike having to pay to advertise somebodys parts , you can use motorcycle grips there 22mm-7/8ths on the clutch side an larger for the throttle tube, 24-25mm depending on the bike. with the 22mm 1's its loads of boiling water an soap an a real struggle to get them on ,with the largers you can wrap tape round your bar til its snug an i then use happy shopper hair spray as a glue .
if dead set on ali grips i guess if you find 1's thick enuff you could have them machined out by a local machine shop , henri

yep ,25mm = 1" ,unless there the concealed switches/wiring fat-bars which can be upto 1 1/2" , to match there fat-heads n beer bellys an size of there mid-life crisis's, sorry ,dont like american agricultral poser bikes , tho it is my favourite sport on a sunday afternoon ,harley baiting in traffic on a scoot ,it dont get more funny .

surprised nobody else has said it yet but ,ali grips like sundance grips will look the doggys doo-dahs ,but i bet ya they will be cold an hard on ya hands ,if planning on doing any distance/winter rides the foam grips with chrome ends will suit better or the sip gel grip 1's or suchlike , warmer an less cramp inducing ,an also cut down on vibrations felt thru bars which give ya pins n needles/dead hand ,or after years white-finger like me .
