1995 XP Handle Bar Pad

[neonnanz]

Has anyone found a good solution to the handlebar pads molding. I have a handlebar pad with a few cracks in it and some mold so I would like to replace it but I also do not want to spend $100 on a moldy gross one. I saw this thread Who is interested in this handlebar pad mod? and am hoping someone can find me that bracket. If not, what is a good solution to this?

And no, I do not want to do a handlebar pad delete.

I forget who but someone here has “a guy” that does an awesome job restoring them.
Maybe @racerxxx

I'm assuming as old as that thread is those aren't gonna be easy to come by, though they do look cool I hadn't come across that yet.


A lot of people like to use bike handlebars to replace the whole get up. I personally really like the idea because I'm a tall guy and it seems like there's more adjustability with them plus there's thousands of styles of handle bars being sold these days. You could get caught up for hours looking through a site like this just trying to figure out which one you'd like the best.

However I've yet to install one on either of my skis mostly out of laziness.
