I'm looking at getting some new grips. My current ones are a little thin and don't provide much cushion. And ideas for a more comfortable grip that would still look decent on a sport bike?

 

There are lots of really good ones out there that run the gamut from $20-ish on up.
Look for a gel-fill for maximum comfort goodness. I personally have a set of Driven D3's.
They are a bit on the high-side at $50+, but are really comfortable and (imo) the best looking
grips out there. Lots of color choices, too.

I like my dual density pro grip gels. For like $15-20 at most bike shops, they're pretty decent grips. Way better than stock.

 

Those Driven D3's look exactly like the one's I was looking at on ebay. They're clones/knock offs, but if the real one's are decent, I think I will give em a shot. They're only $12.

They may look the same but I would be interested to know how they perform. Keep us updated on how comfortable they are.

 

I have a set of the $9 hongkong gel/billet grips incoming. At that price why not? I'll post a review after I get them installed.

 

Yea let us know, I need some new ones.

 

So i got the new grips rather quickly. They look good (exactly like the driven d3's) and feel really good on the bike.

Here's the rough part: they were extremely difficult to get on. The quality control on the metal ring must be poor b/c even after a day of trying to get the throttle grip on, it left about 3/4" bare b/c it simply would not go on any further. Luckily, I have a cruise control switch which covers the bare spot. I would recommend a higher quality controlled product, but for 12.00, I can't really complain.

Don't forget the gloves....I still think the OEM is most comfortable...of course don't look as good as to others ones.

 

yah, the gloves are the next step, but these grips are proving to be very comfortable!
