ABSTRACT:
A two-piece rear grip apparatus22for a personal watercraft includes a body member23having either a U-shaped or an H-shaped cross-sectional shape. The body member includes a recessed portion28, which opens upwardly. The apparatus also includes a grip face member24for placement covering the sculpted recess. The two component parts of the apparatus may be formed from a plastic resin. The grip face member24may be injection molded, and has slip-resistant textured irregularities36formed thereon to provide purchase for the palm of a user's hand. The two component parts of the apparatus may be formed by compression molding or injection molding. Even if the surface of the grip face member includes fine detail work, injection molding can effectively transfer such detail from a metal mold into the finished part. Accordingly, the grip face member can be made to include fine detail work.
