Old Sunline GrandTouring grips replacement?
« on: May 23, 2017, 12:57:54 PM »
Evidently they have been discontinued for quite some time. I have a pair on my Guzzi and they're the best thing to keep my hands from cramping. Has anyone found a good replacement? These are solid, no air pocket in them.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi- I have these on my '71 BMW, '86 Lemans and '98 EV..needless to say I love them! When I purchased my Breva 1100 several months ago I looked for something similar and came across these by Bitwell. So far I'm quite pleased with the feel.

Those Biltwells look great. I miss the old Sunlines, having used them on several bikes. These look similar and and reputedly have a soft compound; my favorite. They even do colors!

The Biltwells look good. They would be my fallback choice.

An added foam grip. Two sorts in OZ, Grip Puppies an Pussy Grips. Not expensive but I don't know if they are availble elsewhere. Installation is simple. Soapy water on the inside, side over the existing grips and leave until the soapy water dries (doesn't take too long).
Hope this helps,
Cheers
