- Manufacturer: Preston Petty Product
- Condition: New
It doesn't get any more old school than these: Preston Petty grips, in the original packaging from the 1970's.
These are NOS (New-Old Stock). This means they are in their original packaging and have never been used/mounted. However, they were manufactured 30+ years ago.
Color: RED
Style: G.P.
Length: 112mm
For 22.2mm (7/8") handlebars
Every pair comes with a Preston Petty Product sticker in the bag (which is 30+ years old - so I can't say if it will actually stick to anything or for how long).
On the flange it says: Preston Petty Product Works GP
These have the typical 1970's motorcycle "half waffle" style pattern on the bottom side of the grips and an ergonomic center raised hex on the top side. These are really very comfortable grips and were way ahead of their time.
Keep in mind these are 30+ years old. There are no guarantees with a NOS product and the condition is not guaranteed to be perfect. The pairs I took out of the package for photographs are all soft and supple (these were stored in boxes in the rafters of a shop, so there is no UV degradation). However, there were a few dirt smudges even though these are in plastic bags. If you want perfect, you should buy NEW grips, not NOS.
All of these red grips I have available are identical, but on a few the header card of the packaging is different (slightly newer) than what is shown in the pictures. Presumably the older packaging is more desirable for a collector, so if you MUST have the packaging shown or if you buy two pair and want one of each packaging style, be sure to mention this as a note when you checkout.
