I found one or two old threads about grips, but nothing that really helped. What grips do most people use on the FJ? I read everything from cheap Ebay ($6) to authentic Yamaha ones ($40 plus).
What do you use or suggest? I have rather large hands, attached to a 6' 6" frame, so wimpy little grips aren't going to cut it. :nea:
i like the pro grip gels-i've had good service out of them-they are 125mm not 135mm which is stock on the fj
So they are a little shorter than stock. Is that going to look hokey? :wacko1:
they really dont look bad.
Progrip 724's on my FJ and on my 9. Works well for me. A pinch shorter than stock, but you can move the switchgear out slightly if it bothers you much. Or, if you don't have a throttle lock, it'd be a good time to install one, and that will take up some of the space.

i have a throttle lock so it takes up the space on the throttle side
I already have a throttle lock installed too, so that should be okay.
I just placed an order for the black ones. Cost me about $16 shipped. I was already looking at that style, but didn't see that model until now. Thanks for the recommendations. :good:
Hot Grips!
Hot grips are currently out of my budget right now. It hardly gets cold enough in Houston to need them anyhow. :pardon:
maybe later down the road, but definitely not before this summer is over.
