lovin' life
Thinking of getting new grips for the bike but I know nothing about 'em. Anyone have input on grips, brands and the like?
the stock grips kind of stink, but with some grip puppies they're all good.
'Nuther Grip Puppy fan here. They slide over the stock grips. They reduce vibration, and make the grips slightly larger in diameter (very comfortable with my big hands), they also have more friction than the plastic stocks so you don't have to grip them so hard.
I installed my first set in 2007 and last winter the left-hand side started splitting (would've thought the throttle side would've worn out first) so I bought another set, but only replaced the left side, now I've got a spare to replace whichever side wears out next.
Probably my favorite, and cheapest, mod! :thumbup:
I'm interested in these, I HATE how small in diameter the stock grips are. Are these pretty easy to put on, and with it overlapping over stock grips does it cause issues?
Do they have something to expand the diameter of grips, besides overlapping ones? Can you buy a thicker throttle tube? I dislike these small grips, it hurts my hand after a while.

D3 grips from RideItMoto.com are very nice. Great Rizoma knock off and I believe as lot of members on here run them.
A little OT, but H8 PVMT, your bike is looking awesome in you avatar pic! :rockon:
Hey Lefty, I'm going the same route. Do you use any riser with the FZ! Bar?
