The Grand Tourismo are vintage grips used on old Honda & Triumph bikes. You get them from Japanese Vintage Motorcycle Parts | Motorcycle Parts, Bike Accessories & Motorcycle Apparel For Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki & Yamaha- Old Bike Barn for $10.00, plus shipping. They also are easy to install, the right throttle side is slighty larger to fit over the throttle tube.

I used early style Schwinn script grips on my build, I soaked the throttle side in the hot soapy water then slowly but surely walked it on over the larger throttle side. Rich
