i have the lever grips in all but yellow and white i think now....the grips are the hardest to find! i still need blue, lavender and orange. i  searched for 5 or 6 years for the white grips then 2 pairs came practically at once!! i tried peroxiding them butthey kept going yellow so ended up painting them with rubber paint, you can't even tell!!  :daumenhoch:

I purchased some yellow sharp lever covers , a couple of years ago. Did the usual and dropped them on hot water before fitting.

Was gutted as a week later they had split open🥲 Good idea on the rubber paint, I will try some on the ends of a pair of white mushies.

Are all the old 1980's mushroom grips the super soft ones as from memory some where hard and gave blisters.
Seen some on eBay in long box so not sure what's soft or not.

The FUAN ones were not the best. All ODI grips are nice and soft👊🏻👊🏻

 :smitten: :smitten: Always love see pictures of this collection.

You managed to find a partner for that orphan orange one yet? I'm keeping an eye out for one, for you on the QT.

I'm still (also) searching for boxed green & boxed white, to complete my little collection. Not as grand as yours, I'm just trying to complete a 'one of each colour' effort of the 1st gen's. Will then have a (picture) frame commissioned similar to yours.

Still searching👍 Thanks for keeping em peeled for me.  We've got the bug. I absolutely love mushrooms , best grips ever for me. Good luck with your search, I've got boxed white, but they are fitted to my Vincent, got green nuggets, but I'm also still searching for green.  Steve.

Would love to see pictures of them. One of my most relaxing events is baby wiping my mushrooms  down with a few tunes on and a beer. Got to keep them clean and fresh.

Aye. The knock offs were shite. Horrible.

The ODIs don't last long but whilst they do they are heavenly.
