I had these grips on my 250x and really liked them... I'm going to replace my 250R grips with these and was hoping to put a set on my girl's 150F, but their website doesn't show an application for a 150F.

Has anyone used these? Does the ODI universal set work on a 150F?

unfortunately, no they don't make them for the 150F or 230F.

Bummer. But there is a light!

I got a set for my crf250 and other than the throttle cable cam being too wide for the 150F's cam/cable housing, I think they'll work on the 150 too. Other than the housing, everything fit fine and it's not far off the throttle pull either (i.e. full throttle will take about a cm more of a twist, but that can easily be shimmed if it ends up being too noticeable.

I'm going to file down the cam on each side to fit the cable housing -- I figure a couple mm's total should work... maybe even less? We'll see... but it CAN be done.

Just a quick update that the ODI Lock-On grips DO work on a 150F... If you're unfamiliar with these grips, they solve the problem of rubber grips ripping and wearing each time you crash/fall. They have bar-ends to protect the outside of your bars and they're basically a hard plastic tube, fused to rubber, waffle grips. They clamp on, so no glue/mess is required. I had a set on my 250X for about 4-5 years and they looked almost new when I sold the bike, even after falling who knows how many times over the years.

I'm sure it's the same case for a 230F, but if you want ODI's on your 150F, buy the set that's made for the CRF250/450, etc. Do not buy the "Universal grips".

The clutch side mounts up, no problem.

The throttle side needs a slight mod... Your stock, throttle tube has a cam (the round part that the throttle cable wraps around). This cam rotates inside the 2-piece, metal housing that clamps to your bars... With the ODI's, basically all you need to mod is the width of that cam b/c it's too wide to rotate freely inside the housing.

I used a sanding block to sand down the outside, and a straight file to do the inside of the cam.
