of the two....grabber...but that's only because they look more stock.

The leather-y one pretty similar to the later disc/MY stock fitted ones are they not (UK market anyhoo...) personally I'd go for the grabbers... have a bit more of that 80's scooterboy styling, especially with the drops!

Sorry, Black Velvet, but those are both ugly. Stock is the word.
