The thinest grips i have yet to find are the Ozonic "Thin Set" ATV grips, I put these on all the DRR and Apex mini quads we sell, perfect for lil hands imho.

I know the Max RPM grips are a good grip that your kids hands will wrap around real nice.Just trying to help and not advertising just stating my opinion just like the rest.:D :D

we went with the moose locking grips similar or the same as the ones toby mentioned. tired of grips moving or coming loose from the glue

I have seen the spider grips split in the middle
and take out the excess and put back together
and glued. To make a shorter grip

Good 'ol Scott ATV grips work great with a little 3M weatherstrip adhesive. Just the plain basic grips. For $7.99 they grip good, can be bought just about anywhere and my little guy (now 6 year old ) he loves them. He makes me put them on his bicycle.

The problem with the ltz50 is the bars are 3/4" OD not 7/8 like most motorcycles.

The only option I found was from Mc Master Carr and they are ugly but work. It is grip #1 and they come in a pack of 6

I have not been back to the dealer in 6 months to see if they are selling youth ATV parts again.

I had a bike like that once. I put on honda mounting clamps and ran 7/8 inch bars.

yeah i just found that out the hard way..lol. i went and bought a set of spider grips becasue they came in pink. i used balck electrical tape and put two layes on then glued the grips. seem to hold on good for now. ill see how it holds up in time though.
