A little more information on the grips. They are on a ‘72 s2 350. I’ve had the bike since 1982. Those grips came on the bike when I bought it. I don’t see any of them advertised anywhere. Being as how they say Mach on them I would think that they are original grips?

They are not Kawasaki grips, they don't fit correctly and "Mach" is/was a bit of an advertising buzz-word. : )

They aren't for motorcycles, they are "BMX"..... "Bicycle Moto-Cross"

Well that explains why I haven’t seen them advertised!

Now that I’m older and planning to put my S2 back to factory condition it’s funny how much butchery had gone on with this bike in the 10 years before I got it. It’s like it was an inexperienced person’s first motorcycle and they were just trying to keep it on the road. Different hardware used to attach things. All the screw heads in the points and condenser/stator are stripped.
