  • Fox Grips

    Fox grips. I had heard he had passed away. Is his business interest in rubber grips still going. Want a couple sets for an 11 and 10 HD. His were always top quality soft rubber. Any one know?

    I ordered grips from them about a year ago, I do not know if the owner had passed at that time or not. When I called, the Missus answered the phone and took my order. Why not call them and find out? Do you need a phone number?
    If you know about Fox Grips, you also know they do a wide variety of reproduction antique motorcycle and bicycle grips and pedals. Also a lot of decals.

          The waffle grips I got from Fox are more of a hard rubber, not soft like the earlier style grips.

            The MoCo made waffles grips both ways.

                Fox Grips

                The number for Fox Grips - 937-837-8783. The wife is still taking orders. We ordered some pedal blocks and got them right away. The grips are of a harder material. We make the grips here at Antique Motorcycle Works out of real rubber and they have a softer feel. You can call us at 503-655-5428

                  Ah my friends from Oregon ( if anyone out there hasn't visited their shop you're missing something)....while I'll just order from you then as I want the softer rubber feel. If they are the ones for 1910 and 1911 Harley I'll take 2 pair and I need a set of pedal rubber for my 1911 HD. Can you guys bill me with paypal and I'll get right on the order? email moose102@escape.ca I love this website

                    Do you offer the waffle grips with closed ends?

                      OK. here are the photos to explain the different waffle grips.
                      The first photo shows the hard vinyl (plastic) grips with the hole in the end.

                      The second photo is 1949 and shows the soft rubber grips with no hole in the end.

                      The third shows the soft rubber with the hole in the end.

                        Just for the record. Those are not the grips I'm looking for for the 1910 and 1911 HD era.

                          I believe that Maiden America makes those.

                            I spoke to Mrs. Fox tonight, lovely lady. Between her and the boys at Antique cycle works I'm now taken care of. For the record she is carying on with her husband's business i guess as long as she has stock.
