Jetski Handle Grips

[AC2717]

Hi All,
anyone know how I can find out what size my jetski handle grips are? length and inside diameter.
I have a 1998 Tigershark 640L (different engine in it) and the grips are breaking down fast and I wanted to put new ones on it, preferably thinker maybe gel ones for comfort.

Problem is I am not up to the lake to measure them, Anyone have a reference as to where I can get the size of them, or where I can get a good deal on them

Thanks

I am surprised our in-house expert on all things jet ski (jet skier) hasn't weighed in. He knows his stuff. I actually have a pair if foam mtn-bike grips on mine, if that helps. I think the diameters on the bars are the same. Happy hunting.

Hi guys,

Sorry about the delayed response...I was out on the jetski this weekend. The part number for the grips is 1773-052

You can buy them for about $8 from these folks:

THank you
Went on to their site, I will have to call them to see if they come in a set or not, and also If I need to replace the rivits that hold them unless they grips come with them

so talked to them $8 piece for the grips so $16 and then shipping and then the rivits as well,

hmm, I was thinking of upgrading them and found that I would be able to with some nice gel ones on Ebay for about $12 including shipping

I just have to get the handle bar demensions

Do you know if grips are usually the same length 5 1/4?
I would think they were in late 90's 2000's but I would not not with today's machines
I was looking at these:

I tend toward Sea-Doo; Arctic Cat stopped making the Tiger Shark quite a while ago...as you know. I would recommend that you just measure them. You can measure the length and cicumference around the bar. Note that the diameter is then the circumference/3.14159. {You might just be able to measure the diameter at the end of the grip...it looks open}

With aftermarket, you might have to make some modifications to deal with the rivit. Clearly you will have to drill a hole and might want to countersink and use a washer. The grips that you are looking at are specified to be 7.5" in total length and 2.5 " in outside diameter. I do not know what the inside diameter is. If you are going to buy these on ebay ask the seller to measure them for you.

The 964 appears to be a shorter grip (FYI)

Well I wanted to get them to put them on this weekend, but you are right I have too many unknowns, I should probably just hold off till Monday after the weekend so I can measure them out correctly. I do know they are 7/8 inside diameter and the rivit is a pop out plastic one.
Thank you for your input
