Why? What does it help with?

Those grips are tiny and not very comfortable for long rides. I had grip puppies on the Hyper but they were too bulky for my preference. I wanted to increase the grip circumference without negatively impacting my abiltiy to operate the motorcycle. The idea popped into my head the last WV trip I did on the beemer. Those grips are too small, as well. I just got to these grips first.  The results are satisfying. The tape is Lizard Skinz and it's 2.5mm thick. The tape is very grippy, but not sticky. They were super comfortable on the trip and I never noticed them until I sat on the bike to take off. 750 miles and not thinking about them says a lot to me. It tells me that fixed my issue perfectly.

Radial swap levers came in. They are thick. I thought there would be more finger access with the cutout but it's further out. They are longer than my current levers but the adjustable adaptor thickness matches them unlike the shorty that came on the master.  Put the clutch on . It came with a brass bushing but it was bigger then the bolt. 

Don't look as good but the lever bevel is a little more comfortable

Got the R1 out one last time this season at NCM over the weekend with @jacobhawkins and another buddy. Weather ended up decent. Most fun I've had on halloween since I was a kid. Surprise cameo by @Hoblick picking up a sweet new race machine.

It's supposed to be really nice out this week.  I'll definitely be out riding

I replaced the rear tire I installed to use up during my latest trip to the smokey Mtn.

Check out the nail I picked up during my trip and I did not loose any air. Hat's off to Mitas tire company for the E-07 tires I have been using for going on 6 years now.
