I was there too, looks like an information link, see the link to dealers.
Did find many hits with others lookng for old stock on these grips, I figure the bushes have been beat for any NOS items.

I've always used liquid dish soap - wet the inside and slip it on. When it dries it sticks the grip in place

Looks like they're not a retail business but suppliers...have to click on the link to find a dealer/someone who sells them.

I can't see a button to buy them.
I hate it when that happens.
Apparently that is a distributor's website for Canada and the UST (United States of Trump). Indiana has two dealers, who would probably have to special order them for me.
Do you want me to become the Cornfield connection?

I had a pair of these on my CBR250R. I really liked them.

These fat grips look good, but do they keep the grip warmers from doing their job?

I couldn't say. I didn't have any beneath-the-grip hand warmers.

And those two dealers are about 3 hours away from me. I don't know if they do drop-ship ordering, or not.

That I don't know. I had the "fat" grips on a bike without warmers.
My RS had stock grips with aftermarket warmers underneath and they worked fine.
MaxBMW has stock grips listed for '79 - '84 R100RS.
