What year Bike are you putting these on? I am thinking the colored teardrops were 59/60 even though the catalogs show them on the 1961.. I think these grips were correct for 61/62 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1960s-NOS-...698471?hash=item5472f1bea7:g:wtsAAOSw2GlXH274

Hey Kevin - the painted inserts are going on '59/'60 bikes. Last week on Ebay I found a pretty good pair of red lettered ones like you linked ($16 shipped). The other side looked really nice. And they cleaned up pretty well. Those went on a '62.

Thanks. Already gone. They don’t look authentic anyways. That infill on the letters is a bad sign.
