Grip Shifter

Once you install this Grip Shift onto the handlebar, you need to find a rubber handgrip to finish it off. I reconditioned a little 20" 7 Speed Bicycle, with some kind of Grip Shifter..I was able to find a rubber handgrip that matched the grip on the Grip Shifter. I cut off a portion of the Hand Grip and installed it on the end of the bar.
