I would suggest BBQ or just plain tomato, with a little dollop of mustard to dampen the rubbery taste ;)

Steve doesn't your bike have this sort??, when I rode yours on the trip they felt very comfy to BTW

Yep, it does, and I want some more for when they wear out.

Thanks Rob. How'd you find them? I was googlin' and searchin' all over the shop and came up with next to nuthin'.
I've contacted one of them. It's hard to tell who will do international post.

It took a little digging, Steve.
When I did find shops that had them in stock, they were all on page two of that particular Google search.

If need be, I could get them and send them to you. I've been wanting a set for the [cough] upcoming CB200. :roll:

I was wanting the above linked ones, but all I could find were these. And I didn't like the looks of any of them, really:

and of course, eBay:

Hi Rob.

If you could do that, I'd really appreciate it. I'd want 2 pair. Let me know....re post etc. Paypal? usps <20lb box is cheap enough.

I also found some that looked close, but not quite. The shape is right, but they look "cheaper".

Sure. Paypal works for me. Just let me know your final decision.

If those are like the ones I remember from years ago, they might "give" a little when you squeeze them? I could be wrong on this. If you want to take this thread to the Motorcycling forum where more eyes might see it, let me know, and I or one of the other Mods can make the change. What I am saying is, I never owned a bike with them, so I could be remembering wrong.

I'd be after the ones in the original post at the start of the thread. They're pretty solid, and wear well.

Happy for it to be moved up.

I also found these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... K:MEWAX:IT Different shape, but they have a similar material look, but not the shape.

Well, it seems the Admins removed "R65 Rob"'s moderator powers after all.
Now I have two profiles....
