Title: My new bike!
Post by: Woody on April 24, 2013, 07:54:34 AM
Hey all,

Finally getting around to uploading a pic of my 2005 gs500. Only have one for now but will have more soon! I have a question, the grips are pretty worn can I buy progrip719 even though I have those blue metal bar ends, are the grips open ended? Also how do you think red grips would look on my bike?

any grips that fit 7/8" bars work and i believe the 719s are.. I have the 724's and they fit perfectly...the bar ends come out they are the type with an expandable rubber bushing...if the grips aren't open ended you can just cut the ends out they are rubber but i believe they are open ended at least mine were


btw welcome and good luck with the bike
