they are GREAT but definitely won't last as long as your stockers...then again, shouldn't have a death grip on them anyway you know?

i say get them if you need new grips! also helps with numbing palms/hand from vibration.

I like the gel for longer riding, and for stunting, wheelies, or drag racing go with renthal diamond soft dirtbike grips, your hands will feel glued to the bar.

Ok so i've had them on for a little bit now...they look cool and are comfortablebut at the end of a long ride my hands still feel like they're viberating after i get off the bike. I'm still trying to decide if it's less so than w/ the OEM grips...it's certianly not wrose tho...they're cheap and give the bike a nice look so even if they don't do jack i'm still glad i got them.

My bike had them on when I bought it, so I can't compare to stock as far as feel but I really like them. Like was said above, after a long ride your hands kinda feel a numb/tingly.

I got rid of those crappy OEM grips and replaced them with the Pro Grips. It made a world of difference IMO. It feels like you can loosen your grip considerably with out loosing grip (does that make sense). Nice and sticky with gloves on.
