| Pro Grip - Handlebar Grips After my stock grips went to rubbing off, I decided to get some new ones, I went to my local shop and started browsing. There selection was limited but, I found some nice black with blue inlets, so figured why not. After putting them on, which i had to cut the ends off to allow my bar ends to go on. I went for a ride, they provide excellent grip, and feel good to the hands. Only problem i found was they tend to transmit alot of vibration to your hands, a good pair of gloves would solve this. 4 out of 10 for these! | |

| Re: Pro Grip - Handlebar Grips If you got the gel ones: they get sticky and slimy over time (like they're made of hot bubble gum). |

 | Re: Pro Grip - Handlebar Grips i've got the gel harris grips and the only time they got sticky like that is when the bozo mechanic decided to clean the greasy grips ( after he got them greasy ) with brake fluid cleaner.  |

| Re: Pro Grip - Handlebar Grips I prefer Pro-Grip over the Harris I have some brand new Harris' on now, that someone gave me as soon as the Renthal grips come in the Harris are going into the trash |

| Re: Pro Grip - Handlebar Grips I've got Harris grips on my 929 right now. I like them a lot more than the pro-grips. |

 They are good grips, but I would definitely agree about the vibration transmission to the hands. I wear A* SP3 gloves when I ride and still my right hand goes numb after about 45 minutes at speed.... | |

| Re: Pro Grip - Handlebar Grips I put some Shogun sliders on my bike, including the plastic bar ends. Removing that extra weight really seemed to increase the vibration I was feeling, so I got some Pro-Grip gel's, and that really seemed to offset the extra vibration quite nicely, especially in the low and mid range. |
