Re:OEM grips 1 Year ago  
I've only had the R* for 3 months now and haven't collected many extra parts yet. I probably wouldn't have kept the OEM grips but they were almost new so I held on to them. Wasn't ever going to reuse them tho, so I'm glad someone else can. This is what the Clinic is all about. BTW, you're welcome Deadweight.

Re:OEM grips 1 Year ago  
Hey Deadweight, dropped the grips off at the post office this afternoon. The man said you should have them Thur. or Fri. If you don't get them by Mon. let me know and we'll try to find out what's going on. Enjoy them bro.

way to ship them so soon, and your generosity is
overwhelming.
Again, thanks so much!

Re:OEM grips 1 Year ago  
It wasn't really out of my way as I needed to buy some stamps anyway. Just trying to help you out. This is the first time I've ever given someone else something on my birthday. I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. Anyway, you're very welcome.
