Grips for my Buddy

Post by angelamarie81 »

I know there are so many discussions about grips for our buddies.
I'm looking online because I want something different and I found a set that I like ... 7/8" on left and almost 1" on right, however, on their page, I was able to select my Buddy - but it told me they weren't compatible!??

What I found that I liked were the New Black Monster 7/8'' Hand Grips Aluminum Silver Bar End Motorcycle Handlebar.

Isn't it true that as long as grips are 7/8" & 1" they will work on my Buddy?
I don't ride on the back ... I ride my own! :)

Those should actually fit. I checked some others listed by this company that should also fit and their compatibility list said they wouldn't. I think maybe their database is just wrong.

The ones that fit are usually just listed as 7/8". (Sometimes 22mm.) It's not precise and the inner diameter is larger for the right grip. 1" is usually the next size up for these automatic scooter grips.

Also, they do offer a 14-day return policy for the eBay item listed. Or you could write the seller and ask to make sure.
