Codger, when I ordered my grips, I meant to order the half-checkered, but accidentally ordered the full checkered. I immediately called after I placed my order and they said they would switch it to half. They must have just run out, or forgot to change it, because they still sent the full. Oh well, I still really like the full checkered, more than I thought I would. Snatch up a pair of the full if you can, you'll like'em!
