The grips were called Roughriders. Like Brant mentioned, the handlebars go just partly in. They are somewhat effective on old motorcycles in reducing the vibration.
Wow. 🤪 I was just interested in a frameset. I think all the questions that members asked were fair. If they were in the description, they wouldn't have been asked. (bent frame, who vetted the frame, and how, etc). I was asking because it wasn't clear to me in the description, and I was...
Both the Parham bike and this bike a FAR from the nicest ORIG paint excelsiors in existence. To make that statement is either a slick sales job, or just outright ignorant. I'm not saying that I don't like them... far from it. But much nicer ones exist.

I disagree on that. This is 100% motorcycle from 1909-1913. After 1913, the rims were 1" dia smaller than yours, and the tire grew to 28x3. That was used into the 1920s
Harley bikes were manufactured by Davis, not by Harley. Your pics are two nice OP examples. Brant's is similar condition and also does not have the Davis Made decal. However, that's not proof that none did.

The ordinary (142.6 seconds/mile) averaged 25 mph! That's smoking on a high wheeler.
To convert any of them to mph, take
3600÷ (seconds to ride one mile) = mph
