I have the stock black grips on my F3 now but they are hard as hell and my hand goes numb after a while of riding. Does anyone else have better grips that maybe absorb some vibrations? I love the look of the billet ones but they are far worse for comfort than my stock ones lol

 

I just put a set of Motrax Tyton Grips on that I got at Cycle Gear (priced at $19.99, on sale, I guess, as they rang up at $14.99). So far, they feel pretty good, nicely shaped and soft enough to absorb some of the vibrations.

They're not on CG's website and Motrax (The manufacturer) doesn't seem to have them on their site anymore

Motrax Tyton grips Red

Motrax tyton grips are designed to give maximum grip in all conditions. the rubber compound reduces vibration from the handlebars whilst the surface design ensures comfort and proformance in any weather. aluminium rings hold the grip tight-on to the bar - hence the name

I went to that website what size did you get 125mm or the 35mm since its semms to be euro specs.

 

Nice ill give them a shot, mine are so freaking hard that i cant feel my fingers after a long ride unless i take my hand off the throttle and shake it lol

 

Sorry, 125mm were the size I used. The 135mm would be too long (Out to where the bar end weights end)

If you check Cycle Gear (If you have one nearby) they might have them on the shelf, they seem to be out of the catalog since Motrax no longer sells them and CG is changing their merchandising a bit.

 

I'm using a set of pro-grip gels. 1,325 miles last week and my hands felt great.
Last long trip I made with the stock grips was about 7hrs or so in a day. Hands were a bit sore.

Pro-Grip 719 Dual Density Gel Grips
They were $14.95 at a local shop, and Pro-Grip sells all kinds of different styles, colors, lengths, single/dual density, etc..... and they're inexpensive.

Also, when you go to replace the grips, use compressed air under the old grip to get them off. It is BY FAR the best way to do it. Then just spray a little hairspray on the inside of the new grips and slide them on and wait to dry. You can also use some grip glue if they still seem to want to slip (although I've had no issues).
I have a 1 min vid of the grip replacement on my home PC... took all of 10mins from start to finish.

 

hairspray... genius.

 

Yeah im gonna order some grips friday on payday
Mine are ok for short trips but after like an half hour or so my hand is killing me lol. normally i just let off the throttle for a sec and shake it out and im good but my bike is my DD so i need better ones.

 

If you don't have hairspray handy, rub a lil gas on the bars then install grips and twist them. Then let dry. I like Galindo Superbike grips myself, but I don't do street riding with mine so no idea on comfort. I know they grip your gloves well.
