Found them. Very nice! How much thicker are they than stock? I was just handling my R51 last night and thinking perhaps thicker grip panels would help my grip. I have big hands.

Do you offer all the woods with checkering or just the couple that you have posted?

I really like the looks of the Padauk and the Lacewood but that cross grain Black Walnut set is really nice too...maybe checkering isn't what I want. ;)

Pat,
     I have two sets of grips on my two R51s.  The grips are comfortable
to my large hands.  I have big hands that in my prime could palm a basket ball.
one set of Teak, and one set of bone.
Make sure that you get the Keefer grips.  They will add about 1/4" to the
width.  The Keefers are on this forum and great folks.

Excellent. Thank you Blackie. Yes, I did notice the ones from Keefer. Hard to miss. Best looking ones on the site. :)

1/4" should be perfect. Did you get smooth or checkered? Just curious.
