Vintage Motorcycle Grips in Aluminum and Brass — Nastro Telato — Inverted Controls
Hey biker. These motorcycle grips "nastro telato" (literally "woven band" in Italian), this is a modern reinterpretation of the old braided leather grips of vintage choppers. Machined from solid aluminum and polished brass, and covered in premium fabric, they offer a secure grip and an unparalleled look. Handcrafted in Italy by KustomTech.

Why these handles?
The look is clearly chopper-vintage, but the comfort is modern. The woven band keeps your hands dry in summer and doesn't burn in hot weather, unlike molded rubber. It's also a real detail that adds character to a bike that's meant to be personal.
Installation
Careful installation is recommended to preserve the fabric. Degrease the handlebars, slide the aluminum grip onto the right-hand side of the throttle rod, and tighten the brass end cap. Installation time: 15 minutes if you're not used to it.
