Nice job detailing man! I particularly like the various accessories - the bell is the icing on the cake lol

Good to see another mountain bike 'round here too - but don't tell nobody I said that :D

The grips can be had at any local motorcycle shop, they cost me 20 bucks and are sized for 7/8 bars. The right one is oversized to fit your throttle tube. They are a little longer than stock ones.

when you say the right one is oversized. is like a one inch or what? what did you do with the origanal grip, cut the rubber part off? the reason I ask is because I'm so tired of my hands vibrating so much. thanks

You can even fight on regular-sized bike grips, provided they're the uber-squishy ones you'd want anyway. After runnin' the rock hard, kit supplied grips for a while I spent 1/2hr with some HOT soapy water and got my Schwinn grips on...

OMG - they're sooooo much better :D

For properly sized replacement grips - hairspray works ossum. Spray the bar and slide the grip on while it's still wet, when it dries it's goin' nowhere ;)
