Quick...grip question
05/21/15 at 14:13:44

I'm thinking about new grips for my controls...
What have others here used?

I want to just swap out the grips not get the whole throttle sleeve and all...will the throttle side need to be a larger ID to slide over the throttle sleeve and are there any iso grips that just slide on?

thinking about these...

The left is thicker to make them the same size... Just but 1" grips and they'll work...

I think I've decided on these...my hands sometimes cramp up so i think having something bigger to hold onto might help... http://www.ebay.com/itm/121630516105?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=...

Personally I really like them. They will wear a bit faster than some other hard grips as described but good quality. Biltwell makes awesome stuff.

Some gloves are gel padded in the palm, Lowes has them. Gripping too hard can play into the cramping thing.

This may sound weird - but use WD40 to mount them. Spray a bit inside the grip and rub it around, and a bit on the handlebar.....not drippy wet but just enough the grip can be slid on easily. You can rotate and slide the grip where you want it....then let it sit for a bit..in the sun helps speed it up. It might take a day but they will lock tightly onto the bars and not slip. (Don't do this on foam grips...I am not sure it works on them).
