Robbie D motherfucker... and I think they would go well with my bare metal look that I am going for with the streetfighter. Though, if they come in and are shiney, I'll bust out some sandpaper to them to dull them up. Not looking for bling, looking for mean.

My busa came with them and they SUCKED.....especially in anything less than 60 degree weather. They would FREEZE my hands. It was like holding onto a popcicle.

Good info... Some of them have rubberized grips, but I was thinking the all aluminum ones would be better...

Anybody else?
