I know the pics aint much to go by, but it's all i got .. can anyone tell what they are?

The grips look like the ame/gt ones but i doubt there would have been gt grips on here .. did ame make them without the gt logo?

look like AME supersoft grips

lever could be ACS ?

Super softs have flanges though .. these look flangless

They look like super soft grips to me. They did make them flange less.

I thought tech 5's but they wrap around the bars on the top with no break .. these look to have a break in them there .. if that makes sense

Tech 5's do have a break in them (how else could you loosen or tighten them) but Tech 4's etc. were a two piece design. Probably tech 5's IMO...

They look like acs locking levers. Do you have any better pics?

wildon · « **Reply #12 on:** January 24, 2012, 10:44 AM »

Got no better pics, just some images from a video but they still aint that good. I don't think they are ACS as the barrel end of the inner cable is visible from the top

I think they may be .. but if so they must have the decal missing to show the cable barrel .. but does the decal cover a hole?

Discostu · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2012, 12:58 PM »

i would assume that the pic i put on has had the levers removed from the housings and been fitted the wrong way round. ie left lever into right lever housing etc. either way i think these are your levers mate.

i dont think the decal covers a hole on the acs levers,its cast so the barrel doesnt show on the top!

EDIT,my mistake sorry ive been doin alot of research into ACS levers myself last few days.there are several types,on some there is a decal covering the hole.like a tech V but with a decal over it,i think these are earlier ones.the ones with the lever cast over the barrel are slightly later!
