Title: need new grips
Post by: Tapartacus on September 06, 2014, 06:56:56 PM
Any suggestions? I don't particularly care for the foam ones. OEM are a bit pricey.

Thanks

For several years I ran Spider slim line SLR grips and liked them a lot.

When I needed a set for the SV my dealer was out of stock and I tried the Driven diamond grippy and am sold on a new grip. They are fairly large in diameter and fairly stiff but the texture is very grippy. I find that if I take advantage of the 'grip' (pun intended) I do not need to squeeze the grip as much and as a result have less fatigue. Plus the Black ones just look good.

How about these? Says 125mm, but oem measures 130.

Some like the foam grips to reduce vibration, RPM has them... Foam Grips from RPM (http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=M%2FC%3AFoamGrip)...
