replacing gummy steering grips

[speedbump]

I need to replace my very gummy 95 SPX handlebar grips. went to the parts section and am confused. they have a grip kit with out description of what is in the grip kit and they have just grips. Both are 28.95. anyone know if they come as a pair of grips or are they 28.95 each grip. unfortunately there is no contact # or info that I can find.

thanks !

Yes, I agree, it is confusing, if you like aftermarket, try ODI rogue grips, or you can buy new OEM replacements on Ebay, black only.

Do the ODI grips lock on? Are they easy to install?

Those look good. What size 120mm or 130mm for the seadoos? Also do the new doo's have a different size or are those compatible also? Lots of aftermarket grips for the new seadoos.

Put odi 120mm grips on my gsx. Even paid the extra to have them engraved "gsx limited"

I ordered new grips from some online shop that looked much the same as this sites shop with seadoo microfiches. I only needed one grip in specific color and ordered only one grip with correct part number and model/year selection. What came home was full install kit with two grips, screws and those little pieces to cover the screw holes. Too bad the color was wrong. But hey, price was for one grip only :thumbsup:

I measured how much bar I have with no grip on and there is 105mm. Do both of the clamps work on the 120mm version or just the inside one?

Yes, use both clamps.

ODI rogues are my grip of choice, had them installed on 3 ski's when the need arose.

got mine from Optma Racing online, good guys that support the sport.

I wonder if my ski is different. There is no way that 120's would work. I have 130mm ones from my MTB I tried and there was a lot hanging off the bar.

120mm work fine on my three ski's 95XP800, 96GTI, 96GSX. See pic. post 2.

Ok, I ordered the 120's just like the ones in the pic.

Well I got the grips installed. They are too long like I thought and the outer lock doesn't really engage. It's close, so it might be gripping some, but not all the way. I also cut off the 3/4 flange, my throttle hit it and I honestly didn't like it. Either way I got them to work ok.

Hey Brian, what is that switch next to your fuel selector?

Awesome Grips, btw.

Bilge pump switch?

Wonder if the 130 mm will work if you slide the throttle and trim housings in some? I want the odi Troy Lee design grips instead of the Black rouges.

 

[RedAggie03]

On mine, I couldn't slide them in much further. You could probably do some trimming, but it would be a lot. Other models might be different, but there's just not enough space on my bars. 96 GTX.

Probably the same on my xp. Guess I'll just order rogues. I really don't want black grips but oh well.

I like the thickness of the stock grips. I bought some aftermarket grips for a HX I'm flipping but they seem a lot thinner in diameter. I know the stock grips have that plastic liner inside to make them a bit thicker. Anyone know of another soft grip that is as thick as stock?

that make sense?
