Now, you'll notice this is the absolute worst grip design. No friction enancing rubber. Just slick metal. Still worse, they narrrow in the middle where the "meat" of your grip should be. Purely just for looks. Well, I rode it for a few days with those grips. The first time I decided to gun it to see what it would do I was coming out of a curve and just straightened up. I was in 2nd.
Twist... oh crap, hands slipping... butt puckering!
Didn't try that again. The grips scared the hell out of me cause there was, well, no grip.
Ah, the first step in another mod journey. There's always some degree of necessity in each and every mod.
