grip puppies
Hey all, i have read so much good stuff on this site about grip puppies, is there only the one place in the states to get them (california sport tourering), the postage to here is 3 times the item. I have actually been thinking of selling them here but there is no way to talk on the net to these guys, there must be either a manufacturer or distributor, if anyone can give me better info please do. thanks.

Grip Puppies id only one manufacture of slip on covers. I got mine from the Parts Unlimited catalog, cost ~$8. Made from the same material as the Grip Puppies. So any Parts Unlimited dealer should be able to get them. Dennis Kirk also has grip covers too.

Re: grip puppies
I just ordered the grip puppies form California ST......

Also just ordered the throttle rocker for my bike.

IS the throttle boss the same kind of thing as the throttle rocker?

I saw that originally too when I wanted to purchase them so I called them first. Talked to them and they gave me a cheaper price for shipping (it's foam for Pete's sake, like mailing "bubble shipping pack") and it was on par with the postal rates. He gave me a total price and asked that I send that amount via Paypal with a quick explanation, and two weeks later, I have Grip Puppies!

They don't shrink and the size you need is the "small" and you will need to cut them to length.

All of those perform the same function, as does the CrampBuster, which is what I have. Some stay on better than others. I had a cheap one that used a Velcro strap to hold the paddle on. Well after time, it would not hold very tight and would slip.
