Very disappointed My bike needed some new handlebar grips so I bought some Scott stock replacement type grips.

They fit like ****! Im cutting them off tomorrow and buying something different. I'm wondering if they sold me the wrong ones? The part # is MX2, curious if it the right ones for a streetbike?

Any suggestions on what to buy? its an 03' ninja 636

 

Just as an update, I took them off and apparently they sold me the wrong ones. I went to a different shop and they sold me some stock/style replacements. Fit like a glove! Waiting on the glue to dry tomorrow and i'm going for a nice long ride in this great S.Carolina weather!!!

 

Good luck on the expectations. I normally just use extra hold hair spray which lubes the grip on the initial install and glues it as well.

 

Dont you love it when they stick you with the wrong part? Congrats on the fix, post up a report if you can, some of us cant ride right now and need to live vicariously

 

Just curious, what did the first place sell you; Harley grips (1")? I think the sport bike size is 7/8" if memory serves. I always had good luck with the old Gaundo or Superbike gel grips. I leave the chrome spiked jobs with sexual overtones to the hard core crowd.

 

They were evidently dirtbike style grips. They were the right diameter but just didnt fit right. ...

 

MX grips are usually shorter and have a larger flange. Not too cool on street bikes.

 

Exactly what happened. If I was a jerk i'd have went back and demanded my money back, but it was partly my fault I guess.

 

A cheap learning curve actually. Congrats on the fix.

 

lol exactly my thoughts :d
