    Yeah pretty sure they will fit. According to superstar almost all grips are made in the same factory. The pattern on the grip looks the same as the superstar ones. Here's a pic with the lock rings off: http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/popup_image.php?pID=326 the same as yours?

    If still in doubt send superstar an email, they usually respond reasonably quick.

    Yes the ends look the same but I pushed the grips all the
    way on so that the bars enter the end black semi cycles shown in
    The pic. The locking black ring is secured around it by tightening the allen screw
    The plug should be going inti the actual bars though I take it and not just these semi circles.

    The actual bar, yes.

    Yeah like cool dad said. You have installed it correctly its just that the plug is too big for the bar. The end caps I linked to replace the outer lock rings on each grip and sit flush with the end of the bar. They have a fastening screw on the underside.

    just returned from my 3rd ride with the new works, although it was another short rider 50% was uphill.

    Loving the new forkll just retus, I've noticed though that with the extra spacer fitted above the total height of spacers is 40mm. In the Rockshox manual it says a max of 30mm of spacers above.
    (see earlier pics)

    Is this vital or will this be OK
