Who sells the nice soft GT hand grips. I don't want the cheap hard plastic/rubber type, but want the soft italian ones.

I bought some copies, they are just as soft as the one I had way back when, my bike shop told me they do harden over time, so when they do I will just replace them. I may be wrong, but the old original ones did harden too over time. Weren't they called "titty-grips" :?:

Dennis Kirk or almost any of the Britbike parts suppliers like Waldridge, Commando Specialties, Domiracer or what have you.

Do a search for Brevettata Granturismo, Italy. They are like a baby's butt, in a good way.

I couldn't find anything except the cheapo copies, but asked at walridge motors and they have what I am looking for.

While not the GT grips, Pro-Grip 714 is about the same shape and made from gel. They help keep the vibes down for those not running Isolastics. I've had them on a few bikes and they've never gone hard on me. Just not very retro looking.
