VFRFahnder Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) First post - hello. I recently bought a beautiful '97 VFR from an individual that took wonderful care of it. Thank you, Dave! Link to bike pic I'd like to upgrade the stock grips to try to calm down the slight buzz I get a highway speeds. I was hoping to get recommendations from experienced VFR owners. What have you tried and liked or disliked? Thanks. Edited October 26, 2009 by VFRFahnder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer navyhelodrvr Posted October 26, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) I recommend ProGrip. Inexpensive, soft and color coordinated. Sorry, only had yellow pic. Available in Red. Welcome to the VFR Family. I think you will enjoy your ride very much.

soichiro Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I like renthals but they are more of a raec grip than for comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum CEO HispanicSlammer Posted October 26, 2009 Forum CEO Share Posted October 26, 2009 I second Sochiro on the Renthals, I used progrips for a long time, they just dont last. My Renthals though are holding up much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFRFahnder Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have another question - Is is necessary to wire-on replacement grips or will just glueing them suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer elizilla Posted October 27, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have another question - Is is necessary to wire-on replacement grips or will just glueing them suffice? Just spray some cheap hairspray in them and slide them on. Works great for me, and I do ride in all weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
