Morning Bonnar_Bloke,
I certainly did. Worth the money. They are just like my original grips. Except that they don't fall apart when you touch them! I was expecting a fight to fit them, but they slid on no worries. I used some Kwikgrip to hold them in place. One stuck, the other didn't. Will clean it up and try clamping it this time.
Thank you. I wasn't really going for this level of "new" but in the interest of longevity I think it was the right thing to do.
Once I get that old Shademaster buffalo less spongy I hope to at least go back to a standard bracket. We'll see what the future holds.
