Takegawa grips?

Are these a genuine Takegawa part or a knock off? Ive never seen them before and I usually dont trust any sellers from Thailand, but I think these look pretty cool. I would only buy them if they are actually Takegawa product thou

Those look fake to me. I don't think takegawa would make something that ugly. All of the grips in their catalog are just black.

They don't look comfortable. I want a nice waffle or diamond pattern, not letters. Doesn't seem like they would "feel" good.

Re: Takegawa grips?

I think there's actually a thread on people's favorite grips. Seems like a dumb topic, everybody has their own preference.

Re: Takegawa grips?

i like the old school mini bike grips that are hard as a rock and are so old you can crack the nubs off.
