The bars are 7/8th's and replacement foam sleeves are available if you just need the grips freshened up.

it looks like aftermarket rubber on them now. looking for a good-looking replacement.

Many bike shops have grips like the foam ones that are lass than $20.

Ebay is chock full of them. Measure the bars and get the correct length.

Check with Rick at Buckeye Proformance. That's where I picked up my last set.

I recently mentioned in another post that I researched and bought foam grip covers three years ago. They were exceptionally easy to install, - in fact I just rolled them over my stock grips with no glue required due to the perfect snug fit. After being installed now for three years, you still cannot tell that they are not the original grips and they continue to show no wear or aging. They are probably the best $10.00 investment I have made for my beloved 88VR. You can see a picture of them and get the details from my original thread titled Foam Grip Covers. With that said, I am sure there are other comparable foam grip covers available.
