I'm looking for a pair of long ( 7 inches) handlebar grips for a mountain
bike

anyone know where I can find some?

Yes, get "Grab-On" Maxi Grips. These are intended for drop handlebars,
come in a set of 4. I like these for mtb bars 'cause I like to mount
the brake levers well inboard and have lots of grip space to put my
hands in close for the road, wide apart for off road.

Yup, didn't know the name of 'em, but bought some a long time ago for my
mtb.

The *short* ones (sort of tapered w/bulges) are TOO padded, IMO, and tend to
slip if they get wet. Avoid those and opt for the "straight gauge" kind
that the Master has suggested. (Even those are too thick for many people;
buy 'n try!)
