Grips should not be so hard or ridged as to give you sore hands , on the other side they should not be so soft that they get sticky and mess up your gloves if "accidently" get covered in oil/gas/ your fave bike cleaning solution.
look around your pals bikes look at theirs try the feel and settle for that just keep trying until you find something that is "you" and stick with that.
What ever you do do not use the foam style grips they hold all the liquids and turn into amess & screw your gloves stitching up !
Re: what do you think of these grips?
gah! so many choices! haha. maybe i should just take a trip to a bike store by me and take a look. They might be what, 5 bucks more when i buy them at the store?yamaha_george wrote:Hi,zero9243 wrote:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Y ... enameZWDVW

Re: what do you think of these grips?
Pro-Grip has the best grips in my opinion but there are way many more out there.

Same price.
That fleabay item is no bargain.
Go to a store and feel them out.

Re: what do you think of these grips?
Ive got the same grips and I love them. They are soft and grippy, but dont get tacky or sticky. Very comfortable. Make sure you get the right size though. When I ordered mine they were advertised for a FZR but were about 10mm short. It wasnt a big deal since I am using aftermarket clipons and just cut the throttle tube down myself.
