This is exactly the kind of thing we should be doing...

Another example here - viewtopic.php?p=198884#p198884

Perhaps lobbying Lordto sell us J-3830-122 - the rubber bungs in the Y front exhaust hanger

Maybe getting Triple S to duplicate the Nuclear Blue for powdercoating...

The list is endless...

I'm not a big fan of the traction grips myself. :o

So how many do you think that you could sell ? Buells are a niche market and there will most likely be alternatives out there.

Or do you think that they would be a good seller to riders of other manufacturers ?

If you do a search for 'Buell traction grips' you will find that other riders of other makes have fitted them in the past.

They are popular enough to command big money on eBay...

Try these at only £7.99 as fitted to my BSA. Mr Pashley remarked that they looked like a traction grip.

Worked ok for me! But although they are of a similar shape they have a very different surface.

How dare you call my BSA a wheelbarrow its a bit low tech but a wheelbarrow it is not. It has two wheels for a start. Watching the Guy Martin thing last night you could always make some wooden grips.
