ODI Grips Extends V-Twin Range
Though best known for its MX products, the Riverside,
California based ODI Grips reports such success with
its VANS/Cult V-twin waffle sole design grips
collaboration that they have stepped up to expand
their range of colorway options for the custom market.
Designed by Cult, Vans/Cult V-twin grips feature the
classic Vans waffle sole pattern built into a medium
diameter grip that provides extra vibration
dampening. Each pair of grips is constructed in-house
at ODI using proprietary grip compounds "for a
consistent feel that provides exceptional control in all
conditions."
Newly updated colors for 2020 include white, gray,
red, green and iridescent purple (still available in black,
Limited Edition Gum Rubber, brown, orange and Ox
Blood) – 125 mm long, both 1" and 7/8" handlebar
fitments are available.
ODI Powersport Sales and Marketing Manager Johnny
Jump told us: "We've had quite a bit of demand for a
throttle tube to pair these with, making it easier to
mount them as replacements for the OE throttle tube.
Since we already make a billet throttle tube for
Supercross and Motocross racers, it was a perfect fit
to our V-twin collection.
"Therefore, we have just released two new ODI Fusion
throttle tubes for H-D V-twin applications. The ODI
Fusion alloy throttle tubes for '84 and up V-twins (H-
D cable actuated) are made in durable 6061
aluminum, have a hard anodized black finish and
feature integrated Teflon sleeves to deliver very
smooth throttle pull and return with machined throttle
barrels. Also available for '08 and up H-D TBW
applications, geared for H-D Throttle-by-Wire housing.
"In addition, we have taken our popular Podium
Motocross handlebars and made two different
versions for H-D V-twins, a 1" OE replacement and a
tapered 1-1/8" to 1" controls Moto style handlebars.
Each is routered for internal run wiring and notched
for H-D Throttle-by-Wire housings and have a knurled
clutch slide for improved adhesion when used with
ODI slip-on Moto grips. They have been shot-peened
and hard anodized black for high durability, are are
31.5" wide by 4.75" high with a 2.12" sweep."
ODI V-twin MOTO 1 1/8" handlebars mount to 1"
controls and bring "ODI's taperwall motocross
technology to the V-twin handlebar market." Made in
high-strength, seamless double-butted 2014-T6
aluminum alloy, for "increased strength and flexibility
with the tapered wall thicknesses." The oversized 1
1/8" clamp diameter is said to improve bar/clamp grip
(requires 'oversized' 1 1/8" handlebar mounts or
risers).
ODI’s 1" V-Twin Moto handlebars mount to 1"
controls and are made in 7075-T6 alloy for strength.
They are a 1" throughout and are a direct replacement
for OEM bars.
ODI's V-twin accessories are available from Drag
Specialties (Parts Unlimited, Parts Canada, Parts
Europe) and Western Power Sports/Hard Drive.
