Grips

[newventurer]

I am going to try these grip covers for a while and see if they kill some of the vibration and hand fatigue.

On this same subject. Any suggestions were to get extended front brake and clutch lines premade for the S/10? I'm going to order some anti/vibe risers from Rox. If you look both sides attach to solid lines (both different) might be tough to use universal kits. Both sides IMO need to be extended.

Yes, Tabasco, on this forum. Check Vendor or modification section.

I used the same grip covers on mine and they worked good for some of the vibes and also increased the size of the grip. Use the soap and water to put them on. Works great. I used the same soap, water mixture that I used on the paint protectors.
A couple drops of Baby shampo to about 6oz of water. I had to really work to get them on. ymmv


I noticed you already have them installed.. Sorry for the instructions.

Good info. The instructions on mine said to use hairspray, which I did and they went on pretty good, though snug as you say.

I wonder how these would do over the OEM heated grips? Those grips get plenty hot so I would think the heat would get through. For $12, I might give them a try.

I bought 2 pr of these: http://www.amazon.com/NOJ-Comfort-Grip-Wraps-210/dp/B000WP9KUE
and they work very well for me.

They're available in many places, eg. https://www.denniskirk.com/black-neoprene-comfort-grip-wrap.p501629.prd
•Decrease vibration and increase comfort
•No need to replace your grips for an improvement
•Hook-and-loop system fastens quickly and easily while minimally increasing grip size
•Fits most motorcycles snowmobiles and personal watercraft
•Machine washable for extended use - 4 3/4 in. long
•Fit 7/8 in. or 1 in handlebar grips with twist throttle

They are very easy to attach as they simply wrap around the grip and velcro together, just like fork 'Dirt Skins'. Adjusting the seam on the grip is key for comfort.

FYI, these are fairly thick(4-5mm), and so someone w/ a small hand may find the grip then Too big for comfort, as is the case for my 17yo son. This could also be an issue w/ the non-wrap/slip-on type.

If thickness is an issue, someone could also buy thinner neoprene(that which comes w/ hook-and-loop style backing) say 2-3mm thick and so fasten w/ velcro(hook and loop) fastener.

I got mine from this place, bit cheaper too. Yes, they will transmit the heat just fine and this is one of the first things I do to a new moto, put on Grip Puppies.
