Got my hands on the last traction grips. By far the best grips I've ever felt. I already have one extra set, so this pair can go. Wondering what they're worth. I'm thinking I might trade them for a set of pucks or something. What do you think?

Trade for a Cinnabon? :D They're $16.95 on Buell.com

Saw a set go on BWB for $60; he thought those were the last ones available as well. Maybe a few out there yet but people are willing to pay...do I get a discount for my research? lol

I have them and they are nice, paid like $30 back in 2004 from the stealership. I'd buy a back up, let me know what you want for them?

Use compressed air to pull the grips off, no worries of messing them up!

I didn't have to see the bidding war to know that people would try pretty hard to get these. Sorry guys but I traded them to Xtremelow for a few shirts right after I posted this. Seems like a win/win

I pulled mine off by using a long, very skinny flat head screwdriver.

i bought these last year for my bike after my boss dropped my bike the second day I had them, WAY better than the stock ones. I guess I'lll check with my dealer to see how much they cost if they can still get them

Been looking around but just as everything Buell, they are getting scarce. Just got my Buell gloves and shirt from GR HD! Great deal for summer gloves but I got the last pair of Xl's they had.

if you hold on to them for 10-15 years you might get a 100 bucks.

if you hold on to them for 10-15 years you might get a 100 bucks, and they'll be hard as concrete.

Fixed that for ya. :D

Dave- did you get these in Salinas?

yup :) I bought them a while ago, took them home, then got a call saying they wanted them back because they were on hold for someone else. The guy behind the counter (jeff if you know him) is my friend so I didnt want him to get in trouble so I returned them. A few days ago he called me and said the dude already sold his buell before even taking it home, so the grips were up for grabs again. He said I had first priority on them being how I had to return them before. Score!

Nice find!
