Galindo superbike grips from Dennis Kirk.

Use rubbing alcohol to get them on if you need to. Get some Scotts grip glue to hold them in place if necessary. I didn't even need glue for mine... once the alcohol evaporated they just stuck in place.

If they won't go on easy you can also shoot compressed air between the bar / throttle slide and the grip while pushing / twisting, it should help get it on there.

I believe the 120 is for the clutch side, and the 130 is for the throttle because the throttle requires a wider grip, do to the thottle piece which makes the bar wider
