Dream Grip Size

Post by bbap » Thu Feb 10, 2011 9:36 pm

Looking to get a set of vintage, white, cool grips for my 1963 Dream 305.

The measurements that I came up with are:

Left: 22.2mm
Right: 32.9mm

Where does one find grips that will fit the right side?
I've got a set of mismatched Brevettato and a Britax on it now and the right side (Britax) is in rough shape.

What are good options for this?

I would be tempted to try these:

A little heat from a blow dryer might be all you need to get them to fit.

Thanks for the response, I'm not sure about an 8mm stretch, though for the right side. Seems like a "stretch"...

I'm not sure either, probably depends on how pliable they are.
If they were black, I woud try them on mine.
One thing for sure, if you could get them on, they wouldn't slip!
