Do any of you remember these special grips. Calvin at Cammex used to buy these in California for the team to use. I had to hide them from my girlfriend or they would come up missing :)214283

I remember them.

Are they OURY grips? Marketed as the safety grip.

I wish someone still made them, they are great for trikes and quads. Ball makes it easy to hang off the side and relax your grip. Maybe Swinehart could make these.. I don't remember who sold them..

I thought that's what we do to get sideways around those knarly turns...hang'em off the side and let'er rip!!!

On a side note... I bet having them really made a difference.. Very cool

Are those the Jones Racing grips? I had a 74 Suzuki TM400 for a bit that had them. Having the side of your hand on the ball sure took the tingle out of the old air hammer.

That's it....Jones Racing made them or sold them.. What a memory Toaster, great job. Now give us the website to order them :)

Lol I think they were on the bike since the 70s! I'm too young to have had them in the day, and I wish they still made them! They'd be perfect for single track guys like me. IIRC, I saw some NOS ones on ebay a few months back, let me check my bookmarks and get back to you

EDIT: They're long long gone.
