grip change
i wanna put some new grips on cuz their getting kinda hard but mostly im tired of those damn circles! So what size do i need? any grips i should stay away from? what do you guys use? whats the easiest way to change em out too? any tricks? 

Re: grip change
Galindo superbike grips from Dennis Kirk.
Use rubbing alcohol to get them on if you need to. Get some Scotts grip glue to hold them in place if necessary. I didn't even need glue for mine... once the alcohol evaporated they just stuck in place.
If they won't go on easy you can also shoot compressed air between the bar / throttle slide and the grip while pushing / twisting, it should help get it on there.

Re: grip change
I believe the 120 is for the clutch side, and the 130 is for the throttle because the throttle requires a wider grip, do to the thottle piece which makes the bar widermxryder21 wrote:Im on denniskirk.com right now about to order some grips but they have two sizes listed. 120mm and 130mm. 120mm is not dual length. 130mm is dual length. both are for 7/8 bars. which ones do i get?
