Foam Grips

Grip puppies.
Easy to fit, keep the OEM grips like new underneath. Heated grips still work, after slight delay. I've used them for years. They're great.

 

I tried grip puppies. They work but are very thick. Not great unless you have big hands.

 

I do have big hands, so they are great for me

 

Dual compound renthal grips

 

Grip puppies do help but a bit useless when they get wet, at least that’s what I found on my Panigale.

 

Not what I have found. I've ridden all day in torrential, and they have been fine. Obviously I lockwire them on, to prevent slippage.

 

There’s why then. I didn’t lock wire mine on.

 

I don't know who thought of them first, but obviously not patent-able and so many makes out there, and some better than others. Apart from hand-size i think they are a great improvement and work for me for grip and curing light vibration.

 

I have the 717’s on a couple of bikes. Make no real difference to vibration levels in my experience. But they are great grips. In fact I’ve just ordered a set for my 749 yesterday.

 

interesting on the vibration, as said, only light vibration but was night and day for me on one bike and the reason I fitted them on every bike from then on - what make were yours?

 

Progrips 717

 

sorry, missed the number, doh. I never tried these as stuck with the Motrax version which are virtually unobtainable now, i have around 3 pairs left. These would wear down after time as the outer material was very soft.
