Need Hand Grips, what to get?

[xtremelow]

As many of you know I went down a couple weeks ago and long story shirt I need the right handle grip. Looked around for a new set and come to find out the Traction grips have been discontinued so that won't work.

So if you have an extra sitting around shoot me a PM or post on what you want for it and I will see what I can do

Otherwise what are some good options, you all have had?

thanks
Brandon

Cant help you with the Tractions but I have the OEM grips I took off my CR if you are interested. Very few miles and in good shape. I was able to get both off with no damage.

Thanks but hold on to them still looking for the Tractions or better.

If all else fails I will just upgrade to the Rizoma Sport Line grips (pictured below). Looked at an identical set on ASB but not Rizoma and they are only $5 less after shipping through CJ Moto, so I figure it is worth an extra $5 if I need to opt for the upgrade. Also searching Ebay for different sets as well.

Any suggestions would help fas well!

I have the Rizoma and love them, Took off the traction grips for them.

I may have a set of traction grips at my dads but I'm not positive

I have had good luck with spider grips so far, they are the only grips that have lasted more than 3 weeks for me. (last summer I did a set of grips, or two, every month)

pro grips just don't last regardless of the style or compound.

Xtreme, I too have the rizomas. They look awesome, and are relatively comfy. But if your looking to have them stack up the the traction grips you might be disappointed.
The raised middle of the traction grips is/was a really nice feature. As I ride longer days now, I am in the market for some new grips. I need to find something with a larger diameter, but dont look like they belong on a Ultra!

If your not riding more then 100 miles at a time then the rizomas are probably fine. Or if you have smaller hands they might be good on longer rides. I wear a xl in most gloves and they are just too small for me on long days.

If you like little/hard grips (I don't) and still want comfort on a long ride try these. They are dense foam like the old Grab-On foam grips.

You can pop them on and off with compressed air as needed. Makes touring REAL comfy.

Hey xtreme I have those rizomas and I love them... they are really comfy.

That sucks the tractions are gone, I have to remove mine to powdercoat my crossroads. Hope they don't get ruined. I was thinking the thick gels with the dimple holes all over, they might be comfy?

Nuage420b,
I have the grips you speak of and love them.

i have the pro grip super bike grips, LOVE them. they have a bit of contour for your palm. and are soft and hard in diff places. PLUS they are only $15.

 

[03Firebolt9R]

These look really cool and functional. Kinda pricey at $100 though.

ABM grips

+1 on the rizomas

 

[delta one]

with all these aluminum based grips for very high prices what do you do when the rubber wears out?
drop another 100 for a new set?

I have the rizoma lux and love them they do great for comfort and grip especially with a nice glove
