What grips for KH T-Bar?
I can't imagine that something like the rubber grips available for the T-7 would fit. I bought cork grip tape but it doesn't fit snugly with the sculptured shape of the bar ends. I don't really want the front to end up looking all bandaged and ugly. Any solutions?

I use gloves. Don't know about the rest of you, but I really like those bar-ends the way they are. The thumb slots are cool, and the couple of times I've dropped it, it barely shows a mark. I'm sure it's only a matter of time on the ground-contacting area, but so far so good...

They fit; they're just really difficult to put on!

I used to use cloth tape on drop bars for mountain biking, holds up pretty well. if it gets dirty, then use sneaker white to touch it up. my favorite grips are OURY, and they should fit unless the odd shape leaves them flacid and dangling. (or is that the problem.) The best way to get grips on and keep them on is a spritz of aqua net hairspray!
