I have made a concerted effort to find a replacement for what I rated as the best bit of aftermarket kit that I had bought for the bike....Traction grips
well have found exactly the right grips and have had some shipped over from the old USA, anyone that used the Traction grips will know what I am on about, if anyone is interested will try to put an order together to get shipping costs down...as to ship one or two costs as much as ten so if you interested let me know and will work out a price....should not work out any dearer than the Buell ones but depends on interest :yup:

Or, American Sportsbike sells these.

Shipping still an issue, coming from California. They may very well be available more locally, but I have no idea who makes them.

Is it Magura that make the Traction grips? They certainly make the heated grips.
