Grips

[AZmidget91]

What does everyone have for grips?

Had to cut the left one off my stock bars to get the levers off.

Robbed my BMX bike for the time being.

Do metal grips get really hot in hot weather?

This is what I use:

I run Driven D3 grips and the aluminum has never been hot to the touch. I do live in CA though and not somewhere like AZ.

I also have a more aggressive dainese glove (overall protection,, carbon knuckles, palm slider, etc).

The colors do tend to fade over time, just a heads up.

Cheers!

I use Renthals, all "rubber" with excellent grip. I never understood why people use hard, slippery metal grips. Especially when you nail the throttle above four grand! Maybe I am just gettin' old!

I have the heated grip setup for the XB's ... Soooo ... I'm kinda stuck with that until they either break or I get tired of em ..... and with this cold weather I've been riding through in the past few days, I don't see that happening anytime soon !! ... lol

I'm a fan of these. They are like a dirt bike grip but have the hole for bar ends/mirrors. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/29964/i/driven-supermoto-mx-grips

Renthals [up]

Specifically the Renthal G176

I also used these as well, but they have an assortment of grips. Not just "bling" metal ones. They are great, and I used them when I first changed my OEM grips.

Driven Diamond Grips

I have those on both of my Buells and if they had them for 1" bars, I would have them on my Shovelhead too, but since they don't, I use these: https://www.biltwellinc.com/p376/buy/parts-amp-accessories/grips/renegade/-renegade-grips-black/

I like grips that are soft, sticky and have a large diameter.

Another vote here for Renthal G176 grips. They're dual compound, sticky as can be, and the larger 32mm diameter makes it easier to keep a relaxed hold of the bars.

I also really like Oury grips. They're really soft and comfy, and a good diameter for street riding. I chose the Renthals for track durability and grip, but if I were choosing for a purely street bike I'd go with the comfier Ourys.

Just ordered these, I liked the simplicity.

I use Rental grips.
They are sooo nice and grippy, not to flashy, but doing a great job.
