AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
my only question is whether it comes with or without the spinners pre-installed. not sure i could handle the kinda heavy lifting it would take to rip them out of hand and mount onto foregrip.
It's not gas-through, obviously. It's just a SRAM rubber bike grip shoved over an old gutted sledgehammer LPR. But I think it would be easy to recreate something similar to the old RT foregrips using something like this. Start with 1" aluminum bar stock....drill the top for a 1/4-20 screw....drill the bottom and a side for 1/8-NPT...shave down the lower part to fit a 7/8" grip...anodize it black...add the rubber grip, and you're good to go.
And if people don't like the little ridge at the top of the grip, there are lots of other options. Like this. Or this.
Better yet, why not build the basic grip shape in aluminum but don't include any grip at all? Just make the hand-holding part to be 7/8" (or some other standard bike grip diameter). Then people can jump onto ebay and buy whatever style they like best and glue it on themselves. That way if the SRAM grips are discontinued, the builder isn't left with a bunch of useless aluminum stubs.
Bad idea to go with the standard Automag mount, the RTP will easily sell 10-1 (likely more) over the AM single screw mount. You can easily slot the AM rail to use the RTP mount.
Sadly, I think that the foregrips that Venomous Designs was coming up with was a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, there was a VERY limited production before he disappeared and we never saw the different versions produced.

I would agree. I don't own any that he made but they have always been on my list of wants.
