Default grips?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to upgrade the grips on my Repsol.....
I think I've seen some that were black and orange.... A nice compliment to the overall color of the bike.....
Any suggestions?
What have others done?

I have the black version of these: grips on mine and they look super and they feel even better.

razor knife
slice the old grip off then clean the tube with alcohol
then spray the inside of the grip with hairspray and put it back on
wet hairspray lubes it to go on
once it dries it is glued in place

I use compressed air between the grip and the tube/clip-on. This breaks the bond of the old glue and you can see the entire grip inflate and it just slides off while still applying compressed air. This will allow you to keep the old grips.
