Handlebar grips

[easyrider]

What is the size for replacement?? I have read 7/8 inch and 1 inch.. Anyone know for sure thx.

I'm not an expert, someone will correct me, but I think motorcycles are 7/8th and agricultural machinery 1 inch?

The left grip is 7/8ths of an inch because it slides over the handle bar itself. The right grip is slightly larger because the twist throttle assembly sits over the handle bar and under the grip.

7/8 and 1 will work with the PCX. Grip length may be another issue though.

When you buy them, order a 7/8" set. (1" is for Harleys). The right grip will have a slightly larger i.d. than the left because of the added dimension of the throttle tube assembly, and that makes it easy to tell which is which. On my Forza the throttle tube had little plastic ribs to hold the grip tighter (I'm assuming the PCX uses the same assembly), and you can grind these off with your Dremel to make the installation of the new grip easier. A little shot of WD-40 in the new grip and they slide right on. Don't worry about the right one slipping without the little ribs. As soon as the WD-40 dries they''l be solid.

Forgot to put this in the reply. These people make some really nice parts. I have a set of their Renegade grips on my Forza -- huge upgrade.

Oh yeah, you got that right, YouYou.

When I was a kid I had this raggedy old WWII-era Cushman Road King which I was barely able to keep running from day to day, even with the help of lots of tape and wire and weekly head gasket changes. Still, with any luck, it took me the five miles to school almost every day. One day this rich kid showed up in the parking lot on his brand-new Lambretta and I welcomed him to the club. He looked around at the assemblage of old junk he would now be forced to park with and said "You do know that the Cushman is nothing more than a piece of farm machinery, don't you?"

Ow!

I was so hurt I forgot to tell him his Lambretta was ugly.
