Grips - To Ebay or Not To Ebay?????

[Scooterbob]

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.

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?

[cherrylog gypsy]

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.

Hot Grips!

Hot grips are currently out of my budget right now. It hardly gets cold enough in Houston to need them anyhow. 
maybe later down the road, but definitely not before this summer is over.
