JStump Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I need new grips cuz the stock ninja grips are super uncomfortable after like 15 minutes of riding, they are just really hard so I'm looking for something softer. I like Honda grips cuz they are kinda squishy but are there any other ones I should be looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idodishez Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I bought the pro grips last season, and they are already wearing out just from normal use. Also arent as long as the originals so now their is a gap on the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Even if they wear out after a season or two it is totally worth it compared to the shitty ones I have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 that is true they make a big difference i hate the feel of the stock ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 maybe mine last so long cause I usually dont have my hands on my grips when the cruise control is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 just ordered a set of red and black 719's, hopefully these get here soon cuz the vibrations at highway speeds make me almost not want to ride at the moment for more than a few miles.

wicked94s10 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 they will help alot, I also find a decent pair of gloves helps alot to, not winter gloves as it is summer but some nice thin gloves that have a little meat to the palm of the hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicked94s10 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have taken four trips with mine in the last year , nothing to long a few 1500 mile 3-4 day trips and a 5 day 2600 mile trip and my hands were fine with the pro grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Or, you could wait until you get calloused man hands and not worry about how the grips feel since you can't feel them anyway. thats how i roll. The grips on the VFR suck, they've sucked since I bought it a year ago but I ended up just getting used to them. I've never ridden further than around the block without gloves and my gloves make all the difference in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
