Guest Hammerspur Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'd like to maybe replace the OEM grips on my '96 VFR. I like the Oury Road Grip but at 5" long it wouldn't work in place of the 4 3/4" stockers without cutting... which would look like shite minus the end flare next to the bar ends. Anyone know of a fatter, softer grip like the Oury's that fit the bill? Edit Post Reply Reply With Quote Blog this Post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mello dude Posted May 31, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 31, 2012 ^^^ My favorites are Pro Grip 699s - shock absorbing gel and very comfortable, lost count how many bikes I have stuck these on. - I usually put them on at the first day of ownership of a new to me bike... http://www.motorcycl...e-Gel-Grip.aspx http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/B000I1SAZ8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACIFICMAN Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 ProGrip Gel, many styles, lengths, thickness' and colors. I have used several sets on different bikes and they are always Excellent. Not expensive either, made in Italy, $5-$15 depending on your selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer tbzep Posted May 31, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 31, 2012 I like Progrip 719's. There's nothing wrong with cutting if the grip's design is set up for it. The 719's are. Shots from the old 2004 bike. You can see the natural line to cut for the throttle on the last pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wera803 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have used several different Pro-Grip's in the past, but switched to the Oury's. Yes, I had to cut the ends off........and yes, I am not exactly happy with the looks, but the grips are better than any Pro-Grip I've used.
