getting a grip

[dazzler]

well after several T.D's my trusty throttle grip is wearing through!!

whats a good brand to go for??
do ebay have any decent grips that are worthwhile??
do i get a gel grip or anything fancy?

i really dont know where to start on this!!

Go Renthal. I like em, around $30 and you can choose how soft a compound you want.. Actions have them.

Try heated grips, the closest feeling to a sheep you can get :lmao:

[dazzler]

how soft are your cedric??

are they plastic type gel things or are they kinda foamy rubber type

i have a foamy kinda looking material thats wearing through, might upgrade to a gel grip if the consensus comes through they are worthwhile!!

[dazzler]

and to think johnny i bought you an easter egg, for all your hard work at the track of recent.....

looks like i'll give it to the sheep now, you koala fucker:lmao:

I got the soft compound, they're nice and grippy, a little sticky but they still have some decent longevity. Pretty nice grip..

Progrip make a nice set of cross-hatch gel/rubber grips. They're at MCAS for about 20 bucks a pair.

ah cedric they look nice, will enquire further!!

now to check the progrip...

Cedrics dead right, that's what I have on my bike right now.. although the throttle one is wearing out... fantastic to have good grips, makes a big difference.

Too right. I took a budgie for a spin a while back and the bloke had these big foam grips on it. I couldn't work out how he'd expect any precision in throttle control but he loved them as they made long trips a bit more bearable. They were hideous, like riding with numb fingers.

My grips aren't the worst thing that aches on long trips.

yip just looked up their site they have a new dual compound kevlar based" lasts three times as long" supergrippy grip that i have my eyes on now!!

Looks the goods Dazz, now to find a stockist eh :)

I used to use Renthals on my dirt bikes, the soft ones wear out pretty qik, i then changed to the PRO-Grips......they give you a sticker with them.......

+1, I had Progrips on the Blackbird, and for distance riding they were great (no vibration/tingling any more). I don't know whether they'd be too soft for the track, I don't think so ... does it matter?

I hate those spongy ones.
