hand grips

Post by krisztian_andre »

I've been using generic, gel type grips and if I leave the bike in the sun for a few days they'll start melting plus they drag on the bar end weights. Are the oem grips better?

I think a lot of people tend to go for Renthal grips these days.

Im one of the few i expect that are not keen on the renthals. I always use ProGrips great grip and comfy for track use.

David silvers supply genuine originals for a couple of quid more that the renthals.

Can I just pop these in to save weight?

Or are there cheap bars that take the OEM end weights?

Do you have standard handlebars?

If so these won't fit, the standard bars are 1 piece with no removable tubes.
