grip dying?
« on: May 13, 2013, 09:57 PM »
ok guys ... so the SE Mauler I bought on here recently didn't come with any grips. So, after looking for some blue murray ones (I did find some but the chap on the museum wouldn't send to the UK  ::) :( ) I have had to accept that I have little chance of finding the correct ones.

So bought these as an SE alternative - correct colour dark blue but I could do with the white (removable) sections to be light blue like the bar pad in the photo. Will these dye do you know? I know tuffs will but these are more rubber than plastic. Any thoughts and help guys???

In all honesty? Those grips have no place on any bike, let alone an old mauler.  Sorry you did ask  ;D
