Question MX Style Grips?

Im looking for a set of dirtbike style grips for my bike but I cant find anyone that makes that style of grip that will fit my handlebars. I think that a set of renthal grips would look killer on my bike but cant find anyone that makes them to fit the 1" bars. My question is does anyone know of anyone that makes them?

About the closest I've found in 1" are these Pro-Grips.

I wonder how far off they are? The MX grips are rubber and should stretch some, if your HD bars are slightly too thick.

I will tell you this-MX grips do not strech much at all so don't even try it. I think Rethel makes a far bar that is 1" so if they do then there will be grips for them. On a side note that hardtail bike is killer looking.

+1 on the Baxter's. I just got my set from licks with my bars and they are exactly what i was looking for. And as far as the Fat Bars they are 1 1/8 but go back down to 7/8 at the control area to accept normal mx grips and controls so the Baxters are your best bet.

Boil them up, they will stretch a lot more than most people think.
