This was todays 10 minute project. heh I've been very bored lately since I sold my WoW accou..... errrr... ummm.... something that I sold that I don't want to say because it makes me look very nerdy and I don't tell even my gfs that I play it. Anyway, I had these grips laying around for maybe 2 years now and just finally decided to put them on.

enjoy

I decided to go with brown because well brown and blue just go so darn well together!! Beautiful aren't they?

ok i lie

I have to be honest. The main reason that made me finally put them on my bike was seeing ffingers bike with the red ones on. They look really good on his so I thought what the heck.

Mike

Grips Look REALLY good.

Now, the most important question is... how do they feel?

Dunno about feel yet. It says I have to wait for 24 hours to let them dry otherwise they'll start on fire or something I dunno. Well tomorrow is supposed to be 60 and sunny so I guess I'm only going to give them from like noon - 8am however many hours that is.

They look ok, I guess. Better than stock. I'm not a big fan of those styles, though. I like my plain-looking textured ones. For grips, they, well, grip! Really well! :D

+1 I got those same grips after his post too. I had to tear off the end of the right grip because the throttle would stick with it on there.

haha, sold your wow account. Nice. Don't get me wrong... I'm not calling you out on the "nerdy" level... rather, feel free to PM me with your methods.

I've got a wow account that I've had "shut off" for months that I'd love to get rid of for some cash.

So... yeah... let me know. Oh, and sexy lookin' grips!

Progrips are alright but, I like the Driven grips. Much softer and much more grip. They have several different designs to suit anyones liking.

The absolute worst grips are the Harris....absolutely the worst grip out there.

I love ProGrip, use them on my MX bike always. I prefer the "Superbike" grips (Galindo I believe) or stock grips for my street bikes.

You just KNOW you're being lazy if it took 2 years to put grips on.

well glad i could influence people...LOL...

i have ridden with them quite a bit and i like them quite a bit over stock......

the thing about those grips is you have to be careful how you put them on or the throttle will stick a bit...if you get 'em just right though, there is no issue...my throttle snaps right back with no issue....plus i know i different bikes there is a difference of a few mm that can make some grips not work "quite right"....

i have a set of the driven grips too sitting in case but they are just solid black...if the progrips don't make it i have a backup...but considering their price...unless i trash them in like 4 rides, i would just replace them again...i think they are REALLY soft and squishy and i find i have less hand fatigue with them on, but that's just me...

either way...the look awesome! i love accenting color in subtle places....!

PFFSSHHHHHH I hate you, how do you like that?! hahaha What didn't you like about them? I used to play EQ back in the day I left with a 68necro. My favorite part of that game was going into a newb zone and training people then FD everyone onto them. I loved playing the evil dark elf. hahahaha Wow I'm a loser.
